Adapter to get my flatscreen vga whatsit working
« on: August 20, 2003, 08:31:41 AM »
Hi.  What is the 'adapter' that I need to connect my vga monitor to my a4000?  The closest adapter I've come across was a 9pin female to a 25pin male and the video connector on the amiga is 23pin...
Does anyone have or know where to find an adapter I can use?  i realise it limits me to a few screen modes but thats fine for what i want to use it for.
Thanks.   8-)

What's a good gfx card to get, or what should I be looking for?  or for that matter, what do you guys use?  sorry its been years since my last a1200 and am now way behind the times.
Very sad.

The simplest thing is a Commodore adaptor. It is a chromed 23-pin to 15-pin thing that plugs into the video connector and allows the VGA cable to plug into it. Inside it has a single buffer chip that buffers the sync signals (IIRC), while the video signals are passed through.

Mine has the Commodore part No 390682-01. I don't know if they're still available, though.


Thanks for the part number... just need to find a commodore / amiga store in New Zealand...
