Multisync set up confusion
« on: February 17, 2009, 04:01:01 PM »
Hi All,

I posted this in another thread but I thought I should post as it's own thread.

At the risk of asking this question for the hundreth time, I am still a little confused about setting up a multisync with my A2000 and native ECS since I have never used a multisync monitor before. I have a NEC XV17+ but it only  will sync down to 31khz. Since my 1080 monitors all died I will have to rely temporarily on a tv.
After I get the 23pin to 15 pin adapter, Do have to set it up to dblNTSC first and then shut the Amiga down to connect the multisync? Or do I connect the monitor first? If that is the case how will the monitor run since it does not sync down to 15khz?

It seems like it should be possible to do this if I can bridge the gap in a sense. Or is it impossible with out the ability to sync down to 15khz first? Thanks :-?  :-?

Well that ends the confusion! I was looking at it in a backwards way, thinking there was a way to preset up the Amiga screen modes for for the a 31khz before actually connecting the monitor. I tend to over think it. :crazy:

if you have it put the storage/monitors/vga-only file in devs/monitors. it may get dblntsc to show on a 31 khz monitor.  better still put the productivity monitor driver there if you have it in storage/monitors.

so use your tv to show pal/ntsc then run prefs/screenmode and select dblntsc or multisync and see if it works on your vga monitor


This kind approach is is what I was searching for when I posted the question. So I wasn't off track just missing the exact steps. I'll let you know how it works. Thanks
