QuoteThanks Eidis,
i think i will try extend the Wire...,
first i need built the video cable,for test the computer AGAIN,
a lot of time without use,and i cant find my RGB to VGA cable,
the Computer must show image without FDD,s?
i cant get image and im really afraid because i think im doing properly the cable...,
huge thanks

Hi Gillianx68000 !

You soldered the wires backwards. For example, RED wire is soldered to pin 8 and not 1 as it should be. The X68000 should and must display insert floppy prompt when powered on and if there is no hard drive.

Quotein alL schematics i find are not indicated like
" SOLDER SIDE"

The pins are usually numbered at the connector. Please magnify the picture in my previous post and you will see the pin numbers.

Hi Gillianx68000 !

Quotei need to say i follow the Schematics,just i dont know the pin to start:

Pin1 is at top left side, when looking at the connector from the front (the side which plugs into socket). Please look again at the picture which I attached in one of the previous posts. You will see that unused pins are not connected.
