I've got an old Amiga monitor model 1080, the kind that supports both analog and digital RGB at the flick of a switch. What can I do with this object? Will it hook up to an EGA card? I'm most desirous of saving some money.... -JT

(8 colors instead of 64). i have it attached to an ati card, and it works as vga, except that the right 3/4 of the screen is on the left half of the crt, and the left 3/4 of the screen is on the right half. its okay, because everything is visible, and most of the text is on the left 3/4 of the screen anyway. also its usable, because i use my herc for text. does anyone know how to make it display vga properly? i think the monitor can not scan as fast as the card wants it to, and it is locking at 1/2 the frequency. perhaps there is some way to make the card go slower? gwoho liu. >-JT

I can't remember the number...) and would *love* to use this on my 386SX system. Also, where's a good place to get the cable from? Thanx in advance. SJO

The KV-1311 can be used on either an Amiga or a PC. On the PC it does CGA, which was the standard when it was made. Use a standard PC CGA cable and card. Note that the connector is the `other' on from the Amiga, however. It's the small boxy DIN type rather than the flat strip type. (Hey, I'm just a software dude.) I assume there are other things that this monitor can be hooked up to, as it's the most multi-purpose Trinitron I've seen. If you have a 1302 I believe this information doesn't apply. -Jim -- -- Jim Becker / jcb%frisbee@sun.com / Sun Microsystems

Those old monitor are almost always close enough to CGA's to be compatible, but the h & V holds may need a tweek of da knob. They should work with most of the aftermarket EGA & VGA cards which allow you to setup it up towork with a CGA monitor. (Of course the graphics then is only basically CGA....) al -- Al.
