I have a Toshiba T1000 laptop, and the screen is beginning to wear out my vision. I also own an old Commodore 64 system complete with monitor. Is it possible (and feasible) to connect the monitor to the laptop? If so, could anyone tell me the procedure to do such a thing? Many thanks, -- Darren Reiniger reiniger@ug.cs.dal.ca | People who wonder where this generation is going should remind themselves | | where it came from in the first place. |

It wasn't great because the CGA monitor has a higher bandwidth than the C64 Monitor. I don't know too much about the Toshiba laptops but I would be very surprised if they had this NCSA port. There are some RGB to NCSA converters out there somewhere so you might ask the net if anyone knows about one.
