- -= How to use a VGA Monitor on your AMIGA =-
-
-
-
- Purpose :
-
- This file will show you how to hook your AMIGA upto a VGA multisync
- monitor. This cable will NOT give you a multisynced flickerfree
- picture, but a picture equal to a 1084 monitor depending on your
- monitors dot pitch. I have used this cable on a Samsung SyncMaster
- CN4551 monitor, which is a rather old model (1988), the connections
- should be the same for any other monitor, you might want to make
- sure the pin descriptions match your peticular monitor, as I have
- not tried it on any other monitors.
-
-
- Shit needed :
-
- (1) DB23 female connector (Plugs into Amiga)
- (1) DB9 male connector (Plugs into VGA Monitor)
- (1) 6 pin female DIN (Plugs into 1084 cable - optional)
- (5) WIRES. Length of your choice, should be shielded, but not req.

- Notes :
-
-
- - An optional 6 pin DIN may be used instead of the DB23 if you already
- have a 1084 monitor cable. The DIN connector will fit into the end
- of the 1084 cable where the monitor is usually plugged in. I'm not
- sure of the pinouts for the DIN plug, but you can map it out with
- an ohmmeter if you want to use it, or can't find any DB23's
-
-
- - The Amiga's video port supports separate horizontal and verticle
- sync lines. And so does my monitor, it's possible to use the separate
- lines, though I haven't tried it, it might give better resolution.
- The stock 1084 cable does not have the pins inside the connector to
- try it with, so if you use a DIN plug with the 1084 cable, you can't
- use separate lines. The above diagram uses a single pin to control
- sync. If you are successful at using both sync lines let me know.
