- G'Day.
-
- After many years of successfully using a //c as an all-purpose home
- computer, I picked up a second-hand ][e (unenhanced) at a computer auction
- (at an amazingly cheap price, too). However, it contained a number of cards
- I am unfamiliar with (my previous contact with ][es was over six years ago,
- and they always had Apple cards in them).
-
- The ][e has a VISION-80 card (Rev. 5) as its 80-column card; coming out of this
- card in a lead with an RCA plug (ie typical apple ][e / //c video cable) and
- an RCA socket on the end. I tried putting the RCA plug into the video input
- of my monitor and using PR#3 to get into 80-col mode, but it didn't work.
- How do I get this to work? What does the RCA socket on the end of the
- cable do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not able to access
- netnews, so please reply to the e-mail address below.
-
- Thanks.
