Some of the newer ones that allow the higher "super VGA" resolutions sacrifice the now obsolete CGA resolution. The Amiga uses that very same 15.75MHz scan rate (although analog instead). Case in point is the above CDP-1304. It will only work with a flickerFixer (or equivalent) at 31.5MHZ on an Amiga. The CDP-1302 will scan down to 15.75MHz. -- Jimmy Liberato ...!amdahl!drivax!liberato

You need to make sure the monitor works well in interlace mode without a flicker-fixer. Many multi-syncs will put the odd and even frames on top of each other on the display and you end up with an effectively non- interlaced image. -- (__) Bruce Becker Toronto, Ont. w \@@/ Internet: bdb@becker.UUCP, bruce@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu `/v/-e BitNet: BECKER@HUMBER.BITNET _/ \_ Well I didn't want to mention it cause it's so silly, but you know how
