[Solved] My new ST2320L crashes connected Amigas?!

[bbond007]

Hi all,

I've bought the 23" Monitor ST2320L from Dell since it can display the good old PAL screens. But when it is connected during startup it crashes my Amigas. I tested it with two A4000D. Both cannot show the Early Boot Screen, they reset in a loop. When I disconnect the monitor they can boot, and then I can connect the monitor and see my good old PAL screen. Can somebody help me? It's not very comfortable to disconnect the monitor on every boot.

Do you have a different 9pin video converter you can try? I somewhat recall that being an issue with some of those adapters... I may be way off base, but its worth a shot.

Unfortunately I only have one adapter. The adapter itself, without a monitor, does not crash the Amiga, but I think that does not mean anything. I could put a transistor on my adapter on my own, but maybe there is one from amigakit or vesalia I could buy? Would be easier. Or maybe I should buy a genlock, then my Amiga has something to sync :laugh1:

PS: For my original Zorro Busboard I have a flicker fixer. Plugged into this card I have no problems.

I have the same dell 2320  and the silver adapter from amigakit and my 1200 boots just fine. Hope thst helps

Thanks to all! I built an adapter as described in the link by rockape and it works! Ok, I took my old adapter and soldered the IC into it. Looks a bit clutter, but fits into the original small case.

how macgyverish of you

good job
