[net.micro.atari16] Analog RGB monitor

kerr@styx.UUCP (Grant Kerr) (09/09/86)

I wish to know if anyone has successfully interfaced an analog RGB monitor 
to the Atari 520 or 1040.  In particular has anyone used the Magnavox?  
I have seen reports in COMPUTE that indicated SONY had trouble interfacing 
their analog RGB monitor to the ST and has had to actually design an electronic 
cable interface.  Has anyone had experience in this area?

	I used a SONY monitor with mine, don't have the model
number right here, however.  That particular model had a switch
in the back for both TTL and analog levels.  Apparently you can
now get dealers to order the non-standard 13 pin connector, but
I had to cut the cable for my monochrome and add an adaptor plug.

I can now use the SONY on both my IBM and ST just by switching cables
and changing from TTL to analog.  No problems excpet no sound from
the ST.
