I just picked up an 1950 monitor. I plugged it in tot he Amiga 1200 with a 23pin to VGA adapter and I get no picture. In fact something is up with the system when it's plugged in. The machine appears not to boot. I can't tell what is displayed since I can't see anything. I can't figure out how to get any kind of display on the monitor.
Also, I have no idea how to boot the Amiga from a floppy, it's always booting from the CF. I figured if I put a kickstart disk in it might display an default screen res just in case it's a bad monitor mode on my workbench.
I very new to Amiga and I really need some help on what to do.
you don't need to unplug your cf or boot from floppy, the C= 1950 is a multisync and displays 15khz and up video so should even display the guru message if its working.. are you using a silver 23 to 15pin C= adapter?
You might to read about known problems with this monitor here:
