Title: bridgeboard and vga card
Post by: nahoo7 on October 05, 2005, 11:59:48 AM

hi all I have an a2000 with golden gate 386 bridgeboard and a flicker fixer.

Ah, that would be nice and the dream of many a bridgeboard owner....rtg the amiga display on a isa vga card.  If only it were possible.

Maybe a misunderstanding.
I had an A2000 with 1942 Monitor and now A4000.
In both machines I used Commodore's simple RGB to vga adapter on the amiga side to convert the signal to the 1942 VGA. This and the 486 Bridgeboard ISA VGA went through the vga switchbox to the 1942 Monitor.
Cheers,
