Has anyone tried to hook up an ibm type monochrome monitor to the ST. I know the frequencies are different, as is the horizontal sync polarity but with some minor tweaking it should be possible. The reason for doing this is ibm monitors around here can be had for about $60-80. The atari monitor is more than double that. thanks /leonard

The Atari monochrome monitor uses a > 30 KHz scan rate vs. the 18 KHz scan on the IBM monochrome monitor. This is beyond the range of any adjustments or simple fixes. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|ihnp4|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (h fh fh <312 <312
