Okay I'm making progress...I've gleaned the A/B pinout from here : http://homepage2.nifty.com/frogeye/connector.html

But I've read the CC uses composite sync. Pin 9 on the a/b 40 pin connector is supposed to accept both h-sync and v-synch...does that mean I can just fuse the two VGA sync wires there? Or do I need to do some fancy VGA to RGB/C-sync conversion?

Also, how do you soft power up the CC monitor when you don't have a the l/b or keyboard?
