First boot of a new IIgs - help! — #67

I really like that adapter.  If you decide to make any, BMOW, let me know.  I'd love to buy one or two.  Replacing an aging CRT with an LCD for my Apple IIs would be pretty handy. …

Perhpaps its scaler is better, but my monitor won't accept 15 kHz RGB, so it can only use composite video. I'm guessing 15 kHz RGB converted to VGA with one of these CGA adapters w…

Yes, that unit will work, but the quality is likely "eh", "meh", or non-existent. The GBS-8220 board that likely came out of the same factory in China is commonly found for $30 or …

On the topic of IIgs RGB video output - does anyone know if it's the same as CGA video, found on old PC graphics cards? CGA is also described as a 15 kHz video signal with analog R…

Sorry for posting so late. The SD needs a minimum of 3.3V, as per Raspberry Pi's use of 3.3Vs instead of 5V. Question is, what kind of adapter do you have? At worst, I think, you…
