CV64/3D issues

My problem is that I use an EZ-VGA adapter with a Dell PC monitor. The adapter doesn't fit the CV64/3D port and I don't have an Amiga-specific monitor. Am I just being stupid for a minute, or is there a way round this, please?

 Do you have the scandoubler module of the board?

 If the answer is "yes", then you only need to buy a cheap VGA switch.

 The only problem with this internal scandoubler (from the CV64) is it isn't able to scandouble the AGA screens in Zorro II boards (who is done by the EZ-VGA, anyway).

If you have the scandoubler module for that card then you don't need a cheap VGA switch. It actually has an auto-switch and you just plug your monitor into the scandoubler's port.

 Not in 1200 Zorro II extenders....

 Check the info (extracted from Amiga-hardware):

 "The scandoubler does not work fully in non-AGA systems, the native display is not scandoubled but is simply passed through.

 Apparently there are modules which can be used directly with the Virge DX chipset and should in theory work with the CV64/3D however drivers would be a problem.

 The only real difference between the original Phase 5 version of this card and the DCE Mk-II version is that the latter supports the "Fast Mode" for Zorro II found on some A1200 busboards."

 Like I said before: those 1200 busboards are Zorro II only. So they cannot behaves like a true AGA system (=A4000) on the 1200. Even with the scandoubler attached!
