Title: VGA Monitor and Voodoo 3 3000 PCI
Post by: Daniele on February 17, 2008, 05:49:36 PM

Hello,

I got an A1200T with the Mediator PCI board and I did install yet a Voodoo 3 3000 PCI.
I have two questions:

1) can I connect a VGA monitor to the Voodoo 3 and see WB3.9?

2) I have an external scandoubler too,may I use it or better do I need it if I use the Voodoo 3?

Thanks

Yes, if you use a Picasso96 screenmode.

If you want to use AGA screenmode on a VGA monitor, you will need the scandoubler.

Get 2 monitors, or a switcher like the one below:
