RGB<->VGA
« on: November 27, 2006, 12:23:32 PM »
It may sound like a stupid question, but one can never be too sure about something:

Amigakit and Vesalia sell a VGA<->RGB adapter, to connect a VGA monitor to the Amiga RGB port. I suspect that this also works the other way round, so I can connect a Microvitek M1438 monitor (with 23-pin RGB connector) to a graphics board like the Cybervision or Picasso.

Am I right?

@Piru: Indeed, I'm a bit slow today (must be monday)

@amigakit: Thanks! I'll wait for my paycheck to arrive and order one.

@McVenco:
Then I must be even slower as I'm thinking about this for a few minutes now and can't find any reason why you'd want a monitor like that on the gfx-card output. Is it because not all the Amiga-native modes are double-scanned/flicker-fixed by the PicassoIV? [I think I remember a few games not displaying thru the PicassoIV]


On the PicassoIV I wouldn't need the 1438 indeed. But for the moment I don't have a Picasso nor a spare VGA monitor.

I DO have a Cyberstorm 64/3D coming in, so I can connect the 1438 to it...
