Hi ... I am posting this for a friend of mine (TLIMONCE@DREW.BITNET)
who is stuck on a network where he cant get at the news (poor guy).
Anyway, I know there has been some discussion about cables to various
monitors discussed lately, but the poor soul has to go to a IBM
*monocrome* monitor.
----- forwarded message from tlimonce@drew.bitnet ------
I have an Amiga 1000 (yea!) with a borrowed monitor. Well, recently this
monitor was needed by the loaner :-(. I have an Amiga 1000 with 2.5Meg ram,
2 drives, all that good stuff. But no monitor. (again, :-( )
Now that I have arrived at college I have (part of the un-avoidable
frosh package) a Zenith Z-157 (yucky MS-DOS) with a monochrome monitor.
The monitor is a standard IBM Monochrome-type monitor. Somewhere I have seen
specs for a cable that would let me use this monitor with my Amiga.
Does anyone have this info? I am Amiga-less! I'm drying up! Soon you'll
find me in a dark alley wearing a grey business suit asking, "Hey man, got any
'last year's technology'?" Heeeeelllllpppp!
---- end forwarded message -----
Thanks ....

Sorry, the IBM monochrome monitor is not compatible with the Amiga - the scan rates and sync polarities are incorrect. A clever person could modifiy the monitor, but then it wouldn't work too well on the PC clone. If $$$ are important, the best thing would be to get a composite monochrome monitor and plug it into the Composite output jack on the A1000. Decent quality for $70-125. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|rutgers|allegra}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: out to lunch...
