Amiga SVideo Adapters A500 / A600 / A1000 / A1200 / A4000 - Page 10

I don't understand why different versions depending on the videosystem, and what is the VGA output for if it's at 15Khz...

@Akira

I'm currently debugging the current design / PCB's & it will need some modification firstly to work satisfactory & to produce the best possible output quality.

The 15KHz VGA output will be removed, Multiscan Monitors are not very common any more & most LCD's will not support 15KHz operation anyway.

Hope to have an update in 2 Weeks

@fingers
Tell me more my friend, Are you using a VGA monitor / multiscan, would a 23pin to VGA adapter not suffice ?

The problem I have is that I have no means to test he port's proper functionality

Hey there TC,

I have an old (15khz compatible) IBM monitor with regular VGA connector, so I'd hoped to be able to use it or S-video, depending on machine/location/desire. Maybe even dual displays

Will it do 50Hz Frame though ????? that's the problem I have

It displayed my MiniMig when the jumper was set to 15khz, so I'm sure it will

Dumb as i am... Wouldn't removing the monitor connector kinda defeat the purpose of this toy? You suddenly need something like this to be able to hook it up to a monitor? For me, not owning a TV, this was the main idea behind the concept. Find a cheap good way to get the Amiga to use my monitor. Preferable with a integrated scandoubler, since i doubt my LCD would like the low scan-rates.

in light of Zetr0's more recent efforts on the A600 expansion front, i have to ask, has this project been abandoned? Suggested prices did almost seem too good to be true.

I am rather desperate for one of these now that I have a better TV, and I cant suffer composite much longer, when the TV doesnt seem to have decent RGB support. edit: although KG is convinced my cables are just crappy!

Gavilan · 15 April 2009, 11:20

I second Hungry Horace: would love to buy a couple of this adapters (2 at least), all made, ready to go, since i suck with soldering and stuff....please let me know if they are still available. If not, and you have estimated time, put me in a wishing list!

Cheers

i will signal a third voice here. Has this been dropped?

cosmicfrog · 12 December 2009, 18:43

what happend to this ??

Mr B · 12 December 2009, 20:34

Just a guess ofcourse, but seeing as this hasn't recived any (usefull) replies since almost a year ago, i'd guess it's been dropped. Sadly.
