-= 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.
I can be contacted at the board listed below..
