I'm trying to connect my Amiga to a standard SVGA monitor, with little
success. Now I'm only using an AGA 1200 but I'm SURE I've heard of people
connecting these to PC monitors before. I know I can't use 15kHz modes or
anything but that's not a problem - I just want to see Workbench on a PC
monitor because temporarily I don't have access to my usual Microvitec
multiscan (I'm typing this on an awful old Acorn 15kHz monitor). I've
tried in the past with a different monitor and had no success but it's
really important now.
I've tried DBLPAL, DBLNTSC, Super72, Multiscan, Euro36 and a variety of
others but no success. I've also tried with and without VGAOnly.
Perhaps I can fiddle with the tooltypes of DBPAL or something to get it to
work? Any help would be MUCH appreciated before I drive myself to despair
trying to work with a 640x256 resolution!
Haven't had a chance to fiddle with MonEd yet because (as a side issue) I
can't get Genesis to connect to BTInternet so if anyone has managed that
I'd be interested too! (it doesn't seem to want to CHAP authenticate
itself)
