[---] I have measured a monitor for the Atari 520ST and it looks like it will fit in my limited space on top of an Amiga. Has anyone tried hooking up the Atari monitor to an Amiga? Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks! Dave Dykstra ihnp4!ttrdc!ttrda!dwd

There are seperate sync outputs on the RGB connector, but they are for the Genlock peripheral and are not designed to drive a monitor directly. If you do not make an adapter with circuitry to buffer the signals, you may find that your Amiga will not boot... -- George Robbins - now working with, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|caip}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
