Jim,
 
   Check out your MM/1  CM8 cable *real* good. I got myself in trouble
hooking up my Maggie. Ya see, the MM/1 and CoCo are pin for pin on the connect.
But, when viewed from the ribbon cable's point the pins are:
 
 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9  for a DIP header
 
          and
 
 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5  for a DB9
 
   I orignally used a crimp-on DB9, and the video output was a strange blue
with no vertical of horz hold. Occasionally I'd see text. That's how I knew the
syncs where "gone". I hand made my own cable, rather than modifying the CoCo's
and everythings been cool since. (except, of course, the brain-dead serial port)

Randy
