Commodore Amiga 1940 Monitor for CD32?

fondpondforever · 11 December 2014, 02:56

Hello everyone, just wanted to ask a question if that's ok. How would a CD32 Play like with a Commodore Amiga 1940 Monitor connected? Thanks for your help.

Break out your soldering iron and modify the CD32 to output an RGB signal.

Here's one I found with a nanosecond of googling. No guarantees on it being suitable for any purpose. Feel free to do more research personally.

Looks cool mate. Wonder why an RGB Port wasn't added by Commodore when they manufactured the Amiga CD32.

Primarily cost and secondarily I'm guessing it's because no other contemporary console sold in the USA was actively sporting RGB out either.

I see, guess that Commodore marketed there Amiga CD32 to the Console Market where Television's were shown in conjuction with Consoles like the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Megarive, Atari Jaguar and Sony Playstation 1.
