I have an old EGA monitor, an ECM-5400
I'm using a Paradise PEGA-1A EGA adapter, presumably this one http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/graphics-cards/A-B/AUVA-COMPUTER-INC-EGA-Monochrome-HEGA-II.html
I've noticed that some EGA games have odd colors. I ran a DIAGS utility that I found on a Hyundai DOS 3.3 floppy that did a video test. None of the 'high intensity' modes are showing. Normal and high-intensity text looks identical, light and dark colors looks the same, brown looks like red, and on one of the tests the background didn't display at all.
Am I right in thinking that one of the wires in the monitor cable is broken, which could cause these problems?
