Using a MDA monitor on a CBM

Hallo allemaal,


To test a loose motherboard, I often unscrew the monitor of my own 8032-SK
to be able to use it. But this monitor is not designed to be used stand
alone so I had the idea of using my MDA monitor instead. So I used Nicolas's
idea of using a 74LS86 to be able to invert the signals.

Unfortunately the result wasn't what I expected:
- either you could read just the first 5 characters of each line at the last
part of the screen
- or (after inverting H-sync) read everything except the first 5 chars.
Turning the H-pos knob just shifted the image, nothing more.

OK, there are fifferences between a MDA monitor and a CGA monitor but I
haven't an idea which ones. 
Anyone an idea what I must do to get a normal picture?

Thanks !!!
