One about monitors
So.... Now i have my Amiga 1200, PC, and PowerMac G4 all on the same desk in the conservatory. I need a large open space ot help the heat dissipate. I have a Commodore 1085S for the Amiga and an Iiyama TFT for the other two. I want to be able to route the Amiga through the TFT to give me more desk space. From looking at the specs, the Iiyama should work at 30Hz horizontal refresh. Can I just hack a cable together out of old bits and run my Amiga Workbench at DblPAL, or is there something more complicated I need to do? Do I need a Scan Doubler / Flicker Fixer?

Just add the VGA monitor to your Amiga monitor list and run it at that (not 100% on what WB variants had this). Though you will require the cable adapter. Amiga kit had them. Or the best way would be to get a scan doubler

Just had a look the VGA monitor should be stored under "storage" and then "monitors"
Though this will not let you play most old games on a VGA monitor just WB Last edited by Hougham; 29 April 2008 at 20:26. |

Adding to this thread, instead of starting a new one. Alternatives for running games, and other none WB software on a modern screen? I got a Dell 2007WFP so i guess i could just go with composite, or S-video, but picture quality, it seams to be less then perfect. I fully understand aspect ratios will be of since the Amiga expects a 4:3 format.
Any ideas? Scandoublers seam to be hard to find, and/or expencive. B! |

More information about his SD/FF is findable here: http://www.amiga.org/modules/newbb/v...r=ASC&start=60 But for those who love to drool: - It's an internal model intended only for the A1200; - the output is normally over 60Hz, so any monitor can be used; - RTF thread! |

I think the keyword is "forthcoming".
As in not yet available. But yes, that was the one i've read about, but i read it somewhere else where there was a less optimistic timeframe on when the unit would be available for sale. I also checked his own site, on which there was no info about the unit. So, all in all, i think we can conclude he isn't really selling them right now, but getting ready to sell them. Yes? B! |

You have to pre-order (no money in advance, BTW) via email. He had reserved only 50 pieces for direct sales. So hurry! |

I have an 17" Dell TFT for my PC and Internal SD doesn't work (Out of Range message). Ofc in Voodoo3 on my Mediator it works like a charm but for AGA via SD not all monitors go low in vsync for them to work flawlesly. My Dell 17" CRT is more tolerant on AGA and works like a charm. That is what I wanna do also (Use PC, RTG, AGA) on same monitor so I'm searching for a noble TFT/LCD TV 19-22" in order to use DVI for PC, VGA for AGA/RTG and Scart for A600. Need to try before buy though to be sure you won't end up having a screen that isn't doing the job :S |

Does the 2007WFP (or newer) Dells still have the ability to sync to a 15kHz signal over the D-sub input? |
