Title: A1200 Specifications
Post by: irishmike on March 31, 2006, 07:33:03 AM

Hello All:

Several people on the board have told me that the Amiga A1200 does not do SVGA like the A3000 does.  I am now confused because I looked up the technical specs and the 31 mhz SVGA port is listed on this site (http://www.amigau.com/aig/a1200tech.html)

So does the port exist?  If it does not, definitely know where to find a proper Amiga RGB to SVGA adapter, but would like to make sure flicker fixer is also in one so if someone knows of another adapter I would like to be educated.

Thanks,

Mike

Correction:  I meant 31 Khz above not Mhz... my bad :-)

There is no hardware flickerfixer or scandoubler in A1200.

You can connect normal VGA monitor (with simple RGB->VGA connector) and use certain screenmodes that are visible, but PAL, NTSC etc 15kHz modes are not.

True, in practice this means that it is possible to use a VGA monitor when you just use productivity apps which are modepromotable or have screen requesters. When you also play games you *need* a scandoubler.
