• K5504 20MB harddisk
• ISA cards, no default connector as can be seen here. If desoldering these, one could use these: https://www.buerklin.com/en/p/amp/pcb-connection-systems/6-5530843-5/57F748/?segment=b2c
• K7229.25 monitor, broken?
  • connector: male
  • MCE2HDMI converter, I got that one
  • Or vga to sub9 adapter? Resoldering might be required: https://sudonull.com/post/113859-Rare-Robotron-EC-1834-computer
  • Or sub9 to VBS connection should work, according to https://mastodontech.de/@tagon/110808180911726114 . VBS (Video, Blanking and Syncs) = composite video
  • db9 to db15 cable might be enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vh_SnveZVY

• https://github.com/hoglet67/RGBtoHDMI/issues/357 - opened this issue
• Potential next steps:
  • use an oszi or a USB uszi to check if the graphics card is handing out a proper signal. With the MCE2HDMI card, I see “something” which changes when I press keys. But no proper sync/picture.
  • replace the graphics card with a known good one (I don't have access to one)
  • strip down cards, check the dip switches position (haven't modified these so far)
