Hi, Does anyone know if the Atari monochrome monitor can be used as a composite monitor? I know this would require making a special cable, but that's no problem as long as I know which pins are what. Which brings me to my next question; where can I obtain a pin layout for my monitor? I plan on using my Atari 800 again and need a composite monitor (old one is broken). If anyone knows where I can get a *cheap* used *color* composite monitor (computer flea market?), please tell me. -- Domenico Schmidt-Bandoni etruscan@cory.berkeley.edu ..ucbvax!cory!etruscan

I know this would require making a special cable, NO it cannot be used this way. The screen runs at 70 frames/sec on an Atari Mono monitor. Composite (TV Compatible) is 60 frames/sec. Howard C.
