How to get 800x600 on Amiga 1200?
« on: March 01, 2005, 02:21:54 PM »
Hi there,

I am fairly new to Amiga, and have a question:

I have an Amiga 1200HD with a Blizzard 1230 IV and SCSI-Controller. The machine runs fine so far.

I have now gotten my hands onto an external Flickerfixer which looks like an Eyetech EZ-VGA, although there is no logo on it, so it might be a clone. I plugged this into my Amiga 1200 (which is running OS3.9), and added a CTX monitor on the other side.

I get a nice picture when I use MULTISCAN: PRODUCTIVITY with 640x480. Since I want to add a PCMCIA-Network-Card and get it onto the Internet, I do need 800x600. I have been trying for some time, but I cannot seem to manage it.

Does anyone have a simple step-by-step idea on how to do this??? I would be that greatful!!

Please take into consideration that I am new to Amiga, and in general to questions of resolution: what is RTG, and how do I get this to run....

I have a lot of memory in the 1200, and it has a 030 Turbo Card...

I only have a desktop Amiga - I do not think there is a way of installing a separate graphics card - unless I do massive case modding, and even then I would not know how to connect the card to the mainboard :-)

I fear I momentarily have no other option but to try my best to get this 1200 to work as best as possible. I have no money at the moment (just became father!), so there is no way I could afford a tower and graphix card at the moment
:-(
