VGA Support on a a1200

Hi,

beeing some kind of crazy at that time, I cutted the vga plug from the monitor cable and soldered an amiga video sub-d to it....

that was a kind of a mess....  :lol:

did it work?

Yes after hours of soldering. I hate soldering sub-d.

So it worked quite well, but when I gave away the monitor the guy wanted to use it on a pc and had to solder it back to 15pin vga...  :-D

Later I got an adapter for that, but be sure to avoid getting one made of silver plastic without screws to fix it, like i did...

i dont suppose you still have the wiring config thing? that would be most handy as a temp solution.

No, this was 8 years ago, i think...
Maybe this is the thing:

otherwise get the pin descriptions of both vga and amiga rgb and connect the analog rgb's and sync's...

Btw you should then use the vgaonly driver, there are also some vga monitor drivers in aminet/hard/drivr
