Using Atari SC1224 with Amiga
« on: June 21, 2011, 07:53:46 PM »
I've seen posts on this, but oh so vague.  Anyone tried this or made a cable that works.  better still, have anyone tried any pre-made cable/adapters that work?

I'm thinking of trying a hack of the Atari VGA cable in combination with the Amiga vga adapter to bridge the SC1224 13poin side to VGA then to the Amiga 23 pin.

Ideas?

I did see that thread.  Maybe I'll get in touch with him.  Seems like it should be possible.  Obviously it's probably as limited as using a 1084 with the Amiga.  Thing is, I own the sc1224 and it's really sharp and could work well with the Amiga till the new Indivision AGA MKII is out.

I really need to find a decent solution to this.  I did manage to get one of my old LCDs to work, but I need the thing for my Mac.  And it's was not a nice display at that.

I believe it's probably that simple.  The scan rates are the same and the low-res and 'high' res (medium for Atari) are identical.  I think super high res should also work.

I was able to coble a bunch of adapters together and got a weak and dark picture so I think it's a matter of getting the config right.

True, I have the JVC version with the sharpest screen so 640 pixels is very sharp.  I assume super high res will look like a antialiased medium resolution.

I'll update with my results when my new cable gets in.
