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

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...
