- Hello Everyone,
-
- Please help me with a monitor Hack. I've really been
- impressed with the helpfulness and knowledge of the Amiga
- community. Here's my situation:
-
- I have an Amiga 2500 ECS with a 1084S monitor. I use Hi-Res
- interlace mode all the time and would like to reduce the flicker
- (I can't afford a flicker fixer or multisync monitor). So, I've
- downloaded several monitor hacks, such as NT-70 and ITAL36.
- These are modified drivers that I believe increase the scan rate
- to 71 Hz and reduce flicker. I've seen the results of this on my
- friend's Amiga and it looks good, his hardware setup is a little
- different than mine though, so I can't ask him for help.
-
- Anyway, the docs for ITAL36 and NT70 say that this hack
- works on a 1084 monitor. I've installed the hacked monitor
- drivers, and installed the new screenprefs and monitorprefs (or
- whatever). When I activate the hacked driver, the screen just
- flips around like crazy. Does anyone know how to use these
- hacked drivers correctly with a 1084S???? I'd REALLY REALLY like
- to know.
-
- The docs do say that you might have to play with your
- Vertical Hold a little bit. The 1084S doesn't have a Vert. Hold.
- knob. Is there an adjustment knob inside the monitor that I
- could adjust with a screwdriver if I opened it up? I think this
- MIGHT be the problem, becuase the screen is flipping vertically,
- as well as looks messed-up.
-
- Thanks, I look forward to any replies.
