Dave, I did it and it will work, almost. When I bought my first Amiga a few years ago, I kludged a cable using the Amiga and 1902 pinouts. The problem is that the monitor will interpret any colors outside of its (limited) range as white. You will be missing large pieces of menus, etc. I was running Digiview/Digipaint and menus and file requesters were mainly blank to the point of being impossible to use. At first, I thought it might be the software… then I took the disks to a dealer and everything was visible on his monitor. I tried re-doing the cable, but nothing helped. I wound up buying a 1084s before I could see everything. You might try using the C= RGB to composite adapter (about $40) but the composite output is not as clear as the RGB will be. Sorry, I don't have the pinouts handy any more.
