Which Amiga to VGA adapter?
« on: May 04, 2004, 01:33:28 PM »
Alright, I've got an A1200, and a Miracle MT508 MonitorTV that does 15KHz refresh.  What I want to know is, how do I connect the two?  DO I need some sort of "Sync on Green" signal?  I know there are various AMiga to VGA adapters, but which one should I buy?

Here's the link to my monitor:

I live in the USA, so if you could give me a link to US cable/adapter supplier, that would be very helpful too! ;-)

Thanks Amigans!

The one Commodore made works fine with current monitors.  It also passes through the 15KHz signal as I use those modes on my C=1950 monitor.  However finding one is another story.

There are 10 types of people in this world.

I might actually have something like that. I have three or four of the small guys that look like a silvery cable end. I have to use one to plug into my NEC 3D and my POC Dell. But I also have a box with numerous cables and adaptors. If you don't find anything fairly soon I'll poke around and see what's in the box. Maybe we'll get lucky and do a trade or some such thing. I live in upstate NY just above Saratoga Springs.

@FireFly

I beleave I just seen one of the Commodore
VGA adaptors on EBay a day or so ago.
It may still be there.
I didn't pay much attention to it because I
don't need one, I probably just noticed it
because the price was low (around $5.00 I think).
Please don't hold me to that ... my memory is
good, its just short  :-D
Stealth ONE  8-)

I've seen several there actually...I think on average they go for about $7.50. Sometimes there's a box of cables and adaptors too. Of course if you buy the adaptor for $7 you can still expect to pay maybe $10 for "shipping and handling".
