[comp.sys.amiga.tech] CGA output from an Amiga

scobb@bti.UUCP (Steve Cobb) (03/30/89)

	Does anybody have information on how to get CGA output out of 
    the Amiga video connector.  No, I'm not sick, twisted and ...
    There is a new LCD projection system (like a NOVA beam system)
    but quite small.  Anyway, it accepts both NTSC and CGA input.
    For our needs (visual stimulus system) pixel definition is
    more important than colors/bitmap size.  So it seems that
    CGA input may be the way to go.  NTSC might wash out too much.

	Given that the video connector has TTL outputs, it seems
    that CGA output should not be a problem.  If this indeed works,
    (correct scanning freq ...) can anyone out there give me a pin out
    or connection diagram to do this?

	Thanks in advance,
		Steve Cobb

Yes, first find an unused and unwanted Amiga video cable. Get a big
hammer and put it in your right hand. nEXt, smash one end of the 
connector into little ittie bittie bits. Collect the pieces that are
now spread out over the sourounding area and the frayed end of the 
video cable and dump them inside (very important) an IBM PC, with the
still unsmashed end sticking out of the most convienent opening.
Lastly connect the cable to the CGA monitor. What's that you say?
The cable doesn't connect to the monitor? You still have your hammer
don't you?
