a500 monitors
« on: January 25, 2006, 04:20:28 AM »
Hi everyone.

Just got an a500 for free after getting into an Amiga discussion on another hardware forum (www.neo-geo.com)
. Loved the amiga as a youngin' and had to have one after we started reminiscing


...anyways, I'm having trouble tracking down a suitable CGA monitor. 1084's don't exactly grow on trees 'round these parts and I *must* have my vintage Amiga games ASAP!

I was wondering what the official refresh rates are on an a500 so I can find a substitute monitor. I'm sure this question has been asked a billion times before, so I apologize if I'm railing against forum etiquette. The converters aren't a problem to get a hold of.

A scan doubler will work on the A500? Awesome, I've see a bunch on ebay and the auctions were unclear about this at best.


....now to find workbench 1.2...

Gaaahhhh!!!

I'm a yank, so SCART isn't going to do me much good... no SCART over here.

What really stinks is that I've got a 33'' RGB monitor in my house.. unfortunately it's in my Virtua Fighter 3 cab.

I'm going to have to go with the RF modulator. Meh.

Well, in the absence of converters.. will this monitor work?

It matches the rates and I have the converters (or at least can get them...)
