I have a question here. I am planning to get an Amiga some time in the summer. As a IBM compatible owner I have just invested money in a VGA card and PS/2 monitor. My question is whether or not Amiga can use the PS/2 monitor. The monitor is only three months old and I do not wish to get rid of it. Besides the Flicker Fixer which I think is way to expensive to buy is there any other way to use the PS/2 monitor??? Sri

What is the current price of the Flicker Fixer ? (It's not selling here
in Sweden). Will it work with a B2000? What do you think of it? Is it
possible to turn off easily if you are doing animation or playing a game?

Right now it is not worth the money, I feel because for that amount of money one can buy an Amiga monitor and solve any incompatibility problems. I have heard that C= is planning to come out with a new graphic standard thus throwing out the old Amiga monitor. Hopefully it will come out with a standard that will support VGA monitors. It was said that it was planned to be introduced sometime late '88 or early '89. Wait until summer is what I say. :-) A future Amiga owner, Sri

Thats probably true. Then again I have been using a CGA monitor for a couple of years too. A leap from CGA to VGA is real expensive..hence I would be looking for a cheaper method (aren't we all? :-). >> A future Amiga owner, >> Sri > >Oh.
