| I took an existing cable, the one that used to come with the Pro 350 and
the VR241 and adapted the 'computer end' of the cable to a 23 pin plug.

| Hi,
I got a Commodore cable and butchered the monitor end.
Back in the days when DB23s were hard to find.

| I built my own, using parts from Radio Shack and cutting a DB25
connector to fit.

| 4032.5 | It was cheap at the time .... | GIDDAY::MORAN | I'm not bad-I'm just drawn that way! | Tue Aug 21 1990 19:52 | 12 |
| I worked out which pin is which on the VR241 cable and bought a DB23
and a DB15 and built an adapter cable for it. It seemed the easiest the
the neatest solution.
Unfortunately I use a multisync monitor now and I butchered the cable
for it so I can't give any pin numbers.

Do you need pin-outs to make one ?
I cut down a DB25 to 23 pins and made my own lead ..
.... Who said DB23s are easy to find and under twice the price. ??

| Actually made a cable last night as my Digital one had dodgy keyboard
cases etc. After burning my fingers with the fiddly wires, I switched
on....and it workded. Load better than my TV. Had to bring it back to
work to get the horizontal size stretched as it needs a special allen key.
I got a DB23 from a place in Harrogate, via a place in Leeds. I'll find
an adress if anyone wants?
cheers for the replies.

| 4032.8 | good idea to check focus | MEALA::COLLINS | STEVE | Thu Aug 23 1990 07:04 | 11 |
|
Has any one with a VT241 monitor been able to stretch the horizontal
to the edges of the screen , on mine the vertical is no problem but the
horizontal won't stretch that final inch .
Also I recently discovered the focus adjustment on the back , I thought
the text resolution was good all along but when I adjusted this It got
even crisper , If I could only stretch the horizontal more ...

| 4032.9 | No way, Jose | BAHTAT::FORCE4::hilton | How's it going royal ugly dudes? | Thu Aug 23 1990 13:04 | 11 |
| Steve,
I don't think it's possible.
I got an engineer to have a look at mine, and we set it wide, whilst on
VMS. I borrowed his allen key tool, and tryed it on the amiga. I turned
until it will turn no more, still and inch left. The image's look ok so
I think that it's at a max. If it could go further, I think the images
would look too thin.

| My VR241 has about a 1/2 inch border of black around the edge, with the
settings set for the largest image. I don't mind it.

| Set the background color to black and you will not see it at all.

| It may be possible to shift the yolk back further,,
But for me the .5 inch black border is Ok..
