I just bought a new Seiko CM-1440 multisync monitor for my A500. Unfortunatly,
Redmond Cable tells me that they cannot make an Amiga-> 1440 cable unless it
has been hooked to a FlickerFixer.
So I try a bit of hardware hacking. The Amiga's sync lines seem to be too
unusual (weak, etc.) to properly drive the 1440 (causing the monitor to
squeal as it tries to lock into the Amiga's sync lines).
My question: Is it possible to use the Seiko multisync without a FlickerFixer?
Or will my new (and incredibly sharp - .25 dot pitch!) become the newest
addition to MISC.COMPUTERS.FORSALE?

BTW - it's a very nice monitor (I'm using it on my A3000) but you can't use SuperHires mode effectively - you can't turn off the de-interlacer due to the above problem... Just a (mostly) satisfied customer...
