 Early microcomputers used CRT displays driven by TTL level control signals. There was monochrome TTL, monochrome Hercules TTL (different sync frequencies, with bit mapped graphics), and CGA/EGA compatible TTL. Early microcomputers used CRT displays driven by TTL level control signals.

 http://old.pinouts.ru/Video/MDA_pinout.shtml combine RGB signals on the VGA connector together with, say, 330 ohm resistors. Connect H-sync on VGA to H-sync on MDA, same for V-sync, and connect the ground and the MDA intensity line to ground. http://old.pinouts.ru/Video/MDA_pinout.shtml combine RGB signals on the VGA connector together with, say, 330 ohm resistors.

-VGA outputs are supposed to be .7v (probably higher on some implementations without a proper 75 ohm load though) and MDA is TTL logic level, where >2.4V is considered a high, <.8 is considered a low, and in between is undefined....+VGA outputs are supposed to be 0.7v (probably higher on some implementations without a proper 75 ohm load though) and MDA is TTL logic level, where >2.4V is considered a high, <.8 is considered a low, and in between is undefined....
