I recently acquired an IBM 5150 with 5153 monitor. I've been looking into an EGA upgrade and of course the highly desirable 5154, although this monitor is pretty much impossible to come by in the UK.
Then I stumbled across this - a fairly straightforward-looking mod to allow EGA on the 5153: http://www.worldphaco.com/uploads/INCREASING_THE_UTILITY_OF_THE_IBM_5153_COLOR_MONITOR_TO_AUTO.pdf
I have a lot of electronics and soldering experience as well as working with CRTs and I'm considering giving it a try. But just before I take the plunge I wanted to ask if anyone here had attempted it? Apologies if this has been discussed already but nothing came up in my searches for various combinations of "5153" and "EGA". Thanks!
