[Coco] RGB cable for Samsung SyncMaster 711mp

[Retro Canada]

congrats, told you need a resistor ;)

could you take a photo or a video to conpare the quality? specially with 80 column modes?

although my 730mw is ok with 80 columns i dont consider it as optimal

It's working!!
I now have a perfect RGB image with the Coco3 and Samsung 711mp!
Thanks Luis and Steve for your suggestions.
My problem was with resistor values or improper grounding.

For anyone else who'd like to do it externally (w/o the internal Coco mod),
here are my connections:
CoCo RGB  ---------->   SCART
1,2 + 12v(-)   --->  4,17,21       Ground
3                           ----> 15        Red
4                           ----> 11        Green
5                           ----> 7          Blue
7                           -----> 2,6      Audio
8 ---> 74ls02 pin 8                    HSync
9 ---> 74ls02 pin 9                    VSync
74ls02 pin 10      ------> 20        CSync
12V(+) ---> LM7805 pin 1 ,  SCART pin 8
12V(-)  ---> LM7805 pin 2, 74ls02 pin 7   Ground
LM7805 pin 3 ----> 74ls02 pin 14        VCC 5v
510ohm resistor between SCART pins 8 and 16
