I have an SM124 (which has performed flawlessly since 1985) and I was
considering getting an Atari colour monitor. Then I decided to get a
multisync, so I could use it on other computers. I had thought that I
would have to keep my SM124 for monochrome, because of the 70HZ refresh,
but I recently heard that some multisyncs can do the higher rate.
Who has done this? Does it work well for both mono and colour? And what
multisyncs can handle 70Hz?

I've tried monochrome in its monochrome mode (forgot how), and by putting the mono signal simultaneously to the R, G and B signals. The NEC monochrome mode is VERY grainy. Putting the mono signal onto RG&B simultaneously has good resolution, but the screen image is only about 1/3 of the screen height. Keep your SM124. -- vsnyder@jato.Jpl.Nasa.Gov ames!elroy!jato!vsnyder vsnyder@jato.uucp

Does it work well for both mono and colour? And what >multisyncs can handle 70Hz? There have been a number of people asking about connecting multisyncs to an ST. It seems to be contagious. :^) In that case, there is a collection of text files about connecting a multisync monitor to an ST in the multsync.lzh file in the atari/graphics/ directory at atari.archive.umich.edu. I have an NEC 3D connected to an STe. I'm using an IB Computers Switchbox; they import the switchbox from Europe. I've tried the Omniswitch from Talon Computers and it just plain sucks -- avoid it. The NEC 3D and IB switchbox works great! No complaints. A friend of mine has a Mistubishi Diamondscan connected to his STe. He says that his monochrome isn't as clear. I've heard good things about the Sony 1302 monitor. Justin Dubois has ordered a Loop monitor to connect to his ST. He says he should have it in a few days. We'll see what happens. :^) -- ||| Ed Krimen [ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu or al661@cleveland.freenet.edu] ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261

As strange as it may seem, Roland provides exactly the same cables to connect their GK-2 Guitar Synthesizer pickup to their GR-50 Guitar Synthesizer. I'm sure you can get "replacements" from a Roland Dealer. The Roland cables are a bit longer, too. Dave Baggett dmb%wam.umd.edu@uunet.uu.net
