- Subject: amiga 2 multisync problems
- Lines: 29
-
- I am trying to make an adapter so that I can use my Teknika monitor with
- my amiga 1000. It didn't come with the cable, but I know that they make
- one (they talk about using it in the manual). I have built my own cable
- with the following pinout:
- Name Amiga Monitor
- Red 3 3
- Green 4 4
- Blue 5 5
- Hsync 11 8
- Vsync 12 9
- Ground 16,17,18,19,20 1
-
- There seems to be a problem with it though. When I boot up it works
- fine until it asks for a workbench disk. Right before the graphic with
- the disk would come up the sync on the monitor dies. If I unplug the
- cable from the monitor before booting it seems to work fine (and also if
- I use a b/w composite monitor on the comp out port). ALso, I can plug
- the rgb monitor in again after the workbench starts loading and
- everything works again (although I can't unplug it and plug it back in
- when the sync goes out, the whole machine appears to lock at that
- point).
-
- I read that if the amiga sees a high current draw on the sync lines that
- it assumes that there is a genlock connected (or something like that).
- Should I buffer my lines to sync?
-
- thanks,
- alex
