I am planning to upgrade this summer to a multisynch monitor from my SC1224 and was wondering what type of multisynch to get. I remember reading somehwere that it HAS to be CGA compatable. But I am not sure about that. I am looking at the Panasonic C-1335 or 1381. Any info would be greatly apreciated. mark santora dlk0ms9s@umiami.ir.miami.edu

Well I don't know what you mean by a CGA cpmpatable. Multisyncs should handle about everthing. They have an Analog input which is what you want and a TTL input for CGA/EGA.Don't confuse multiscan monitors with multisync. The Sony 13xx series work as should most ohters.

The monitor should _not_ be CGA compatible - CGA is digital, the ST needs analog. The Pansonic C1391 should work nicely; the C1381 won't sync low enough (15.75KHz is needed) for the ST in color. Don't know about the C-1335. Others known to work include the NEC Multisync 3D (and presumably 4D and 5D, big bucks), the Sony 1302 and 1304; most others should also work if they sync slowly enough. -- ############################################################################## # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # # Microware Systems Corporation --- OS-9: Seven generations beyond OS/2!! # ######Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them!######

Well this chap brought a STE and found that it would not sync, with a few changes to sync signals, the Horizontal sync was replaced with the Composite sync, it now works. I never found out reason of the difference with the STE. -- Roger W. Sheppard 85 Donovan Rd, Kapiti New Zealand...
