Does anyone know if a monochrome ST can be used with a Commodore 1702
RGB monitor (after unplugging the monochrome monitor of course)?

Another way of stating this question: Is the color output of the ST so
unusual that a non-Atari color monitor cannot be used?

Thanks.

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
Here is a simple circuit that I picket off compuserve a while back
to hook a ST to an Analog RGB (not digital or RGBI monitors that
are hooked to Ibms and te like) monitor. I have not tred it myself,
but I have hear from other people that it works.NOTE: those
resistors are supposed to be important, so don't skip them.



From Steve Katz:
Hi again! Well... The resistors are 1.2K and are not tied to ground, but are in
line (I think thats what you call it).

Atari                            RGB Monitor
Pin  Signal			Signal
 7    R------------~~~~------------R monitor
 6    G------------~~~~------------G
10    B------------~~~~------------B
 9    H Sync-----------------------H sync
12    V Sync-----------------------V sync
13    Ground-----------------------Ground

         with ~~~~ meaning 1.2K resistor (Brown Red Red).

 It works as I am using it right now! Good luck..SSFN!
