Title: X68000 on Towns Monitor

Hi guys,

Does anyone have a link to a pre-made adaptor that allows X68000 to output on a Towns Monitor?

Let me know if you do,

Best

Nick

I actually think I got one of these a while ago but never ended up using it since I prefer using an XPC-4 and a larger modern PC CRT.

There's some really confusing translation on there regarding the monitor I'm looking to use X68k on (FMTDP5361) :o

Somebody with actual Japanese knowledge should chime in, but from what I guess and the way the summary is structured, it lists which models 1. were tested with the adapter 2. which other models require this adapter 3. models that don't require the adapter, but you can use the adapter to put your mind at ease that you aren't damaging anything - this is where your model is listed. Again, this is just guessing what he means.

Hi Skpstmgs,

Had someone look at it and you're 100% correct, that is what it says. Don't think I'd want to plug X68k in without the adaptor so I try and win on Yahoo Auctions! Thanks for your help.

Best
