Thanks for your reply! I can gladly donate towards your project and supply you with a adapter such as this one: |

But that device would require a monitor that supports 15khz horizontal sync right? |

The main idea is to get an original IBM 5153 monitor running. We have since found another way to do it using a RPi: |

Hello, thanks for a great project! Here at the Slovenian Computer Museum we have a demonstration of the original IBM PC model 5150 connected to a CGA monitor IBM model 5153. The computer is running DOS 2.10 and a specific software demonstration running in an infinite loop without any need for keyboard/mouse.
Since this computer is a very old machine, I would like to retire it from being powered on as to not stress it and perhaps replace the "computer" part with ESP32 running a PC emulator. What would be great is to use the minimal hardware possible, perhaps a NodeMCU dev board and use the GPIO to generate CGA TTL image. Is this something possible with your project?
Thank you so much for your work and support!
