which monitor cable to use? (a1200 with 1084s)

[bubba119]

Hey guys.
just a couple of quick questions;
I'm thinking of making a monitor cable for my 1084s monitor.  should I make it for the digital input or the linear input?
I'm currently using a composite video lead, will I get much improvement over using RGB anyway?
thanks guys

cant wait for os4!

thanks Amigaguy.

I have the pinouts for the monitor and the amiga 3000.
is this the same for the a1200?

[bubba119]

I can only find an 8 pin din plug for the digital connector on the monitor.
what happens if I use the amigas digital outputs here? do I only end up with 16 colours?
I'm gonna make the cable anyway and find out

[bubba119]

I made the digital cable and only 16 colours to be had.

Mine uses a 6pin din connector.
well I wired up the analogue and it looks sick
only problem is the screen shakes whenever the floppy drive is looking for a disk
any thoughts?

cheers amigaguy I'll try that
(sick= sweet) :-D

well I checked everything and made use of all the ground pins, with shielding and the screen still jumps when the disk is being used.
does the same thing on my a500 too.
oh well
