[comp.sys.atari.st] Adaptor to convert SM-124/5 to greyscale?

mike@abekrd.UUCP (Mike Quinn) (01/23/91)

I heard rumour of an adaptor for inside the monochrome monitor to convert it
into a proper greyscale display capable of showing medium and low resolutions.
Needless to say it cane from Germany. I remember people saying that they had
ordered one and would report the result.

Well, did anybody get one? Does it work? Where from and how much?

Andv<Thanx>ance.

It did work for 1 week. There seems to be some heavy load on the high voltage
section. 1 resistor and 1 diode was blown. It is VERY much work to install it, so
if you don't have the skill, drop it !!.
