[comp.sys.amiga] How can I hook up an A500 to a sony 1303 multiscan monitor

simmons@cs.odu.edu (Gregory S. Simmons) (05/28/89)

I just got myself an A500 and thought I would use my IBM's sony monitor 
as a monitor for the A500 also and just switch between the two computers
when needed.  However,  I got an amiga to RGB cable from a local store 
and set my system up and set the settings on the monitor for analog input
turned the thing on and nothing happens.  The amiga is running but the monitor
doesn't run.  It starts to then just doesn't get it up.  The monitor is a 
sony multiscan with digital and analog input settings and 640-400 resolution.

Is this monitor capable of running on an amiga?  How?

In order to get the system up for now I have over six feet of video cable
connecting the amiga to the monitor.  Is this too much distance?

Any help would be appreciated.
