The Seiko CM-1430 is a VGA only monitor (it doesn't sync at 15.75 KHz). You can't hook it up to the Amiga 2000 directly at present -- you must get a Micro-Way FlickerFixer (or some equivalent device) that generates a VGA compatible signal. The FlickerFixer comes complete with wiring information for VGA monitors. For a source of high-density 15 pin connectors for VGA (and for DB-23 connectors!), I suggest: Electronics Plus 800/548-7135 (outside California) 800/321-4524 (inside Califonia) The cable on the Seiko CM-1430 is not detachable, so I made a DB-9/high-density adaptor that fits inside a double-ended jumper box (same size as a null-modem/gender-vendor adaptor). The display is very sharp and clear -- I'm satisfied with the display quality but would have liked the input versatility of the Mitsubishi Diamond Scan multisync monitor (bigger dot pitch and smaller max resolution, but syncs a wider range of signals and accepts analog RGB, digital RGB, and NTSC). I bought the Seiko with the hope that I'd someday be able to use its maximum resolution/dimension (1024x768). -Gary
