Pinball 2000 HV Sync Combiner

• For games with 26-pin internal ribbon video cables, I offer an adapter board that mounts directly to your Pinball 2000 computer's graphics card output to pre-process the original CGA video signal.
• For games with 24-pin internal ribbon video cables, I offer a custom-designed PCI card that pre-processes the the original CGA video signal for up-convert to VGA.  

Be sure to use the information below to check your game's computer before purchasing. 

• The 24-pin connector has one pin removed to key the connector so you will see one row of 11 pins and one row of 12 pins.  

• The 26-pin connector is not keyed so you will see two rows with 13 pins per row.

Most games use computers with 24-pin ribbon cabled computers; only early production run games use the 26-pin ribbon cabled computers.  Unsure which to buy?  The 26-pin external combiner works with all games.

• The PCI form factor card is easy to install in your Pinball 2000 computer using just a phillips screwdriver.  
• Integrated into my design is a single USB port to provide power for the GBS-8200 (or GBS-8220) up-converter.
• The double-wide PRISM card may need moved over one slot to allow space for the HV combiner

26-pin games need my external HV Combiner:(works with all games)

• The HV adapter screws on to the CGA video port on the rear of your Pinball 2000 computer
• The HV adapter needs USB power (easily supplied by installing a PCI USB card into your Pinball 2000 computer)
