Yes you can, but you need one of these: http://inchocks.co.uk/commodore/4064/4064_VideoBoard.JPG The is the one in a PET 4064, which is similar to an Educator64, but uses a standard PET monitor. The video board takes the luma signal from the 64 and splits it into the h-ysnc, v-sync, and video signal expected by the PET monitor, but anything other than black is shown as green, so you will only get true monochrome images such as these: http://inchocks.co.uk/commodore/4064/4064_BoulderDash.JPG AFAIK, no-one has found or reverse engineered a schematic yet. regards, Rob On 04/01/2020 11:54, David Roberts wrote: > What Frank says. > > Dave > > On Sat, 4 Jan 2020 at 09:26, Francesco Messineo > <francesco.messineo_at_gmail.com <mailto:francesco.messineo_at_gmail.com>> > wrote: > > On Sat, Jan 4, 2020 at 9:50 AM Steff <alienzone_at_gmail.com > <mailto:alienzone_at_gmail.com>> wrote: > > > > Hi, i've a commodore educator 64 with no monitor, I've found a > pet 8032 > > monitor that look like the educator one but have different video > signals. > > So, is there a way to make this monitor work with educator (that > is a > > commodore 64)?
