Telex Magnabyte thread

640x480 is not that great for dvds.

NTSC DVD - 720x480
PAL DVD - 720x576


If you run widescreen dvds on a 4:3 (standard screen) panel, with black bars on top and bottom, than...
NTSC WIDESCREEN DVD - 720x642
PAL WIDESCREEN DVD - 720x770 - thats almost twice more pixels than 640x480.

600k colors is pretty good, thats like 19-bit color

I may be wrong but I read somewhere that the Magnabyte 5080/90 only ran 16 colors. This was listed in a PDF that some ebay seller had posted with their auction.

Infosquawk, did you ever get the video cable problem sorted out for your telex magnabyte 5080?

I've just goten hold of a panel but it doesn't have the video cable and I haven't been able to track one down, apparantly only Telex and one other company used the 26 pin d sub to vga connector.

Anyway, if you managed to make your own cable, could you pass on the details so that I could have a go

Cable pin out????

I got a 5080 this week and it has an odd cable it is 9 pin to 26 pin.
could someone give me a pin out for 15 to 26 so i could rebuild this one?
