[comp.sys.amiga] Atari Monitor, hard disks???

870646c@aucs.UUCP (BARRY A. COMER) (09/30/88)

Hi all, well the day has finally come, I seem to have this nice new
Amiga 2000 sitting here on my desk. Two questions for all the techies:
1. I have also bought the 2080 monitor, nice in interlace, but when playing
   games it sucks, there are streaks all over the screen. Now since I still
   own an Atari SC1224 colour monitor, I was wonder if it can be hooked up to
   the 2000 for when I want to play games? Both monitors are analog RGB.
   Any ideas????????
2. I want to add a hard disk to the system(20 meg), as far as I can tell the
   2090 card supports scsi and st506 interfaces, will this card support
   a Seagate ST225 hard disk(they can be bought anywhere for next to nothing)?

Thanks for your time
Barry Comer

I have seen (won't tell you where :-) that monitor attached to an Amiga.  It 
worked fine, though it was connected to an A1000.

Yes it will hook up. Depending on the generation of the Atari monitor the
results may be less than optimal. (Or so says Jim Kent (jim_kent on bix).)

Early Atari monitors were excellent. They got er ah Jacknifed.
