Cheers. My Amiga setup is:
A1200 with 6Mb memory, FPU and 28MhZ. I have an adaptor which goes into the
video port of the miggie which has the joystick-type plug on the end, and it
will fit most kinds of monitors. My monitor will display normal PAL/NTSC
screens, usually WB screens opened by progs like QB tools and Blitz public
screens work, although not AMOS screens.
AMOS would be fine, if the config allowed you to adjust the position of the
screen a lot more to the right. My screen (on TV) looks like:
******************************
*
* *
*
* (AMOS *
* Blank *
Screen) *
*
* *
*
* *
*
* *
*
* *
*
* *
******************************
I have to do this because the AP screen wraps itself off the sides, and
around itself. If I could somehow extend the right borders even further, I
would be able to complete a full AMOS screen. Has anyone written a better
config program to do this?
Please help me, I am really desperate.
