Re: Wico X-Y pattern gen. pinout

Looks like my notes...I thought I was the only scratch out artist...

I should make a sketch of my test fixture for the XY monitors. I have it
set so I can run B&W and Colour into my old HOEI blow-out proof monitor. A
couple of simple jumper plugs and I can test most Vector boards. 'cept
Cine's of course. But I do have a HOEI STar Castle boardset and this has an
on-board convertor for Cine style to regular Vector XY monitors.
