5071.123 pins I believeSALEM::LEIMBERGERTue Sep 24 1991 07:057
    look again, the video input on the Amiga 2000, 5000 is 23 pins. I've
    made up several of these cables, but I used a cable that had the 3 
    bnc connectors on it already. I had to cut the connector down with a
    hacksaw(real hacking). I don't have any cables now, and can't remember
    the pinout. However a fair amount of people should have this info
    avalable.

    I have a Amiga to monitor cable so I could possibly cut the monitor end
    off and connect 3 bnc plugs if thats possible, but would it work and
    what are the pin/cable connection for the bnc plugs (as to whether its
    a 23 or 25, I did not count just assumed, sorry)

    See note 4818.5 for the pin configuration for the vr241 to the amiga 23
    pin port.

5071.4another wayGLDOA::HILLARDTue Sep 24 1991 10:1115
    The most simple answer is to use the original 23 pin to 9 pin amiga
    monitor cable.  go to radio shack and buy yourself a 9 pin to 9 pin
    printer cable that will mate to the amiga 9 pin.  They sell a 9 pin
    male to male or female to female.  Cut the cable in half and put your
    bnc connectors on the bare end.  This way if you ever do go to an Amiga
    monitor you havent destroyed the monitor cable.Get one that has the same
    gender on both ends in case you mess one half up you can use the other
    end and try again. My amiga manual has the pin outs of the 9 pin end
    that crossed easily to the bnc connectors.  I also got the 9pin
    connector pin outs by asking the amiga dealer/service center where I
    bought the system.  This does not answer your question directly but it
    is some food for thought when you do decide to build the thing.
    good luck
