[comp.sys.atari.st] hooking an Atari monitor to Amiga 500

drz@csri.toronto.edu (Jerry Zarycky) (05/13/89)

A friend of mine has an Atari 520 ST hooked up to the Atari SC1224
colour monitor.
He has also just acquired an Amiga 500 and doesn't wish to buy another
monitor, but wishes to use the Atari monitor with the Amiga.
Whereas the Amiga has fairly standard RGB video signals, the Atari's are
apparently "slightly custom" (according to my friend).
In any case, I would appreciate any replies from someone who has
actually done the above, or knows how to do it.
E-mail would probably be most appropriate.
Thanks for any help,

Jerry Zarycky

Your friend can simply purchase a cable for the Amiga 500 which will let him
hook it up to the SC1224.  I'm not sure which company carries the product but
the price is around $10.

Amiga "standard" RGB vs. ST "slightly custom" RGB, eh?  That's funny...
