So does anyone have a video cable that connects the S-550 and S-760 to a
CGA monitor for sale, or know anyone who does?
What's the official name of the cable again?
Thanks!

I guess I should provide more detail. I have both the S-550 and the
S-760 in my rack and I want to share one CGA monitor between them. I
plan to get another one of these cables and a CGA switcher (assuming I
can still find one) which should allow me to just switch back and forth
between my two samplers.
Could I do something similar with just an s-video capable TV monitor?
Thanks!

hopefully others with more knowledge will respond as well.
I haven't used a CGA monitor on my system in at least three years.....
I don't have a S-550.
what I do have is two S-760's, a dvd player and a aurora video card.
they all share the same 13 inch TV using a radio shack s-video switch
that I bought on ebay for I think $25 a few years ago.
from memory the CGA switch was expensive etc.....
but having an S-550 may eliminate you from being able to go S-video.
curious to know however,
does the S-550 have a sound that the S-760 doesn't have?
in other words how come you still use both? S-760's are like $175 on
ebay (10% of what I paid for mine, but anyway :-)), how come you
didnt' replace your S-550?

I sold my S750 ages ago (two years ago i think) but before this, i did order
a cable from redmond-cables. Unfortunately, some hickup did occur and the
cable i got in the end did not work. I had an old Atari colour monitor
(1084??).
I did solve it anyway by building my own cable, using parts from a company
called "Elfa" here in Sweden (similar to Radio Shack i would suppose). I
don't remember the details anymore, but i did get hold of a Roland service
tech who provided me with the blueprints for this cable. I remember having
to use a couple of resistors and twist a couple of the connectors to get it
to work (while fiddling with this, i got strange result with a garbled
picture, etc). It finally came out ok, but it was a little bit of work to
get there.
Perhaps this can be a little helpful for you?
Kind regards

I checked and the 550 only has the proprietary Roland connection and a
monochrome RCA out, so I can always try to find a small monitor with RCA
ins and maybe a cheap RCA switcher - I know these are easy to find and
very cheap.
Is the 760's RCA output mono or color?
As for the 550, I have tons of floppies for the 550 and I know the 760
plays them too, but I want to hang on to both samplers so I can use the
760 for the samples I only have for the 760. The 550 actually doesn't
sound that bad, and some people say 550 samples will sound better on a
550 than on a 760 ('though I can't say I've noticed this myself).

ok.
most TV's that have s-video have composite in (which is the RCA) and
you can switch between them.

pmfji, I believe the Composite (rca) out on the 760 is a color out.

Thanks, everybody. I guess I want to find a small, cheap monitor with
RCA and s-video in which allows me to easily switch between the two -
hopefully through a switch on the front of the monitor but a remote
would be OK.
A quick search on ebay shows lots of options, but I don't know if I want
a 42" big screen TV on my keyboard rack. :)

I think both sony and panasonic also sell 13 inch monitor with s-video in.

Look in the game stores and you'll see aux LCD screen for Xbox or whatever.
Composite video in 7" LCDs cheap.
3:33 p.m.
Kmart here in the states was clearancing the PS1 color LCD screens for 13 bucks about 6
months ago . They have a composite in as well as little stereo speakers built in too.
I'm going to take one apart and mount it inside a custom rectangular case some day.
It's small,around 5 in diag, but for performances it's all i need to navigate
and load up my performances.

I tried it today with a Yamakawa T5030 PAL-TFT-Monitor with 5.6inch but
had no success. It could not sync correctly. The picture started in the lowest
quarter of the screen and not on top of the screen. The same result with the S-
760 and S-330 output. :-(((
Also some lines were missing and so the fonts were not nice to read.
With a Canon Ixus-V Video Signal it works fine...
www.yamakawa.de (German page)
bought at Amazon.de for 88.- Euro
Remark:
A normal tube monitor with 6 inch works fine and can be read fine, but the
15,625kHz tone makes me crazy...
