Title: Commodore 1802 question
Post by: MigaMan on July 22, 2006, 06:51:14 PM

Hey all,

I have a Commodore 1802 monitor for my C64, and I was wondering if it is possible to use the composite video input for use with my Amiga 600 that should be arriving soon.  Would this work or would I have to get a different monitor?

the c64 is completely different to the a600
so i can only guess that no it will not will not work
i remember when i had an a600 i could get it to work on any pc monitor of the time providing you had an old amiga 500 manual that gave you the pin configuration but you do need to be quite technical

Am I limited to the choices of resolution?

Same resolutions but blurrier video due to the composite output.
