Is it possible to run A500/A600/A1200 on a VGA monitour?

It is possible - But has problems.

Basically, the amiga video mode frequency goes lower than your standard pc ( i believe its 15khZ on an amiga whereas a pc monitor goes as low as 30KhZ). With a standard Amiga - VGA convertor, you can use WB but some games / demos wont work. You need a scandoubler for that so that its on the 30KhZ frequency.

I think.

ALso...

you can cut the lead of a VGA monitor and solder SUBD amiga video socket to it. Apparently its WELL fiddly, but i think the wiring diagram is on aminet.

@Thellenbow

You will probs need a scandoubler, i dont know of a monitor that goes down to 15hz.
