Does anyone know if a monochrome ST can be used with a Commodore 1702
RGB monitor (after unplugging the monochrome monitor of course)?
Another way of stating this question: Is the color output of the ST so
unusual that a non-Atari color monitor cannot be used?
Thanks.

I have not tred it myself, but I have hear from other people that it works.NOTE: those resistors are supposed to be important, so don't skip them. From Steve Katz: Hi again! Well... The resistors are 1.2K and are not tied to ground, but are in line (I think thats what you call it). Atari RGB Monitor Pin Signal Signal 7 R------------~~~~------------R monitor 6 G------------~~~~------------G 10 B------------~~~~------------B 9 H Sync-----------------------H sync 12 V Sync-----------------------V sync 13 Ground-----------------------Ground with ~~~~ meaning 1.2K resistor (Brown Red Red). It works as I am using it right now! Good luck..SSFN! -- Jwahar R. Bammi Usenet: .....!decvax!cwruecmp!bammi CSnet: bammi@case Arpa: bammi%case@csnet-relay CompuServe: 71515,155
