Use a neobitz, it works great! http://www.neobitz.com/

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

See? I told you there'd be interest.

@adric22

Yes, I have tried Neobitz with both an A500 and A4000. It works great! You must connect it directly to the video connector, do not use the VGA adapter as it messes with the sync.

It's used to attach multisync monitors like the C=1950 to the Amiga's 23 pin video out. Not everyone needs/uses it. I warn against it simply because it's tempting to try and use a 15 pin VGA connector, as those are still made. You're far better off cutting two pins off a 25 pin connector to make it fit the 23 pin video out.

One of these days I'd like to etch out an internal video slot PCB and attach the Neobitz parts to it. That'd be so much cleaner.

Trouble is, that's a male connector. This requires a female connector.
