A few questions on Amiga monitors in Germany. A friend of my mother is going to Gremany and wants to get a monitor for friends there that have a new Amiga. I promised some input on the pluses/ minuses of getting it here in the states or in Germany. For one I don't know what Amiga this is but am assuming a 500. Given the differences in PAL/NTSC would it be better for my mothers' friend to g wait and get one over there (probably a 1084S?) or could she get one here at a better cost and only need a European type cable/adapter? Any input would be welcome. Thanks, ---Mike -- | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD My Karma ran over your Dogma! | DLA Systems Automation Center | Cols, Ohio mfigg@dsac.dla.mil | CIS: 73777,360

Any input would be welcome. From my experience the problem is not PAL/NTSC or 50/60 Hz (this is normally well in the bandwidth of a monitor), but power supply. You must be sure to get a model that is 220 V capable. You see, in the very first Amiga days, we all had those 1070 (or was it already 1081?) monitors with a 220V to 110V transformer under the desk... -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
