I read somewhere about a cable that would plug an amiga into a TTL monitor, and eliminate interlace, but only in four colors - Two questions - does such a cable exist? and - I own a Mitsubishi Diamond Scan monitor which has a TTL port as well as normal RGB port - could I use this monitor in TTL mode as the TTL monitor for the cable? Any ideas? THANKS!!!

No. What you might be thinking of is the Hedley monitor, which does eliminate interlace, and gives you a bigger screen as well, but only in B/W. You can get TTL video out of the Amiga, suitable for IBM CGA type displays, but this is 16 colors and DOES have interlace. -- Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.us

In fact, I just talked to someone on CIS( forgot the name, sorry), that had done just that. There's also a paper-white grey-scale monitor occasionally offered in Computer Shopper, that I've been wondering how much flicker it would show. -- Eric J. Schwertfeger, maniac@jimi.cs.unlv.edu
