Hello

even without the scandoubler you can set your workbench to a VGA compatible screen mode and use it. It won't work for games and demos though, but still good to catch little bit of amiga feeling.

no, any monitor is ok. I use a 17' LCD perfectly. The files are already there in any wb 3.1 installation. copy files dblpal, dblntsc, multiscan and vgaonly from storage/monitors to devs/monitors and restart. then go to prefs/screenmode and select a mode which suits you best. I recommend multiscan-productivity.

but why ? its a 30 KHz 60 Hz signal, why wouldn't it work ? I have to admit I only tried with my LCD. Even so there's no harm in trying as he doesn't need to make any extra purchase (aside from a RGB/VGA converter maybe)

after changing the screenmode, select USE. this will activate the screenmode, but won't save it, so you can get the old screenmode by rebooting. If you find the screenmode to be working, select SAVE. This will save the screenmode and activate it. When you restart, new screenmode will be used.

if something goes wrong, you need to delete prefs/env-archive/sys/screenmode.prefs by booting with no startup sequence.

you're all getting mixed up here.

30~62kHz

this is the horizontal sync. 15 KHz for PAL/NTSC, 30 for DBL and Multiscan modes.

50~85Hz

this is the vertical sync. 50 Hz for PAL and 60 Hz for NTSC/Multiscan. I think although some monitors do claim they accept 50 Hz but in reality they don't. That's most probably the problem. My LCD says it accepts down to 60 Hz. But actually it also displays 50 Hz, though with a warning message which says out of range. So I'm kind of lucky.
