View, CA Lines: 35 Xref: watmath net.micro.apple:2177 net.micro.amiga:242 Here's the problem: I would like to have an RGB monitor that I could you with an Apple IIe and, hopefully in the not-too-distant future, an Amiga. Given that both computers begin with "A", this shouldn't be too hard. But seriously.... 1) I've heard that Amiga developers like the Sony KV-1311CR monitor, but I've also heard that special cables are needed. So, I'm wondering: a) is it hard to find adapter cables (and is this all that you need to do to make the Sony work with the Amiga)? b) is there an RGB card available to interface the Sony with the Apple IIe? 2) Has anyone out there had any experience with the Apple 100 RGB monitor? Would it work with the Amiga? 3) Is there a different monitor I should be considering instead? 4) Will Commodore develop an Apple emulator so I can just trash the IIe or is IBM the only machine worth emulating? 5) What is the meaning of life? I would appreciate answers to any of the above, but keep it brief on #5. Many thanks in advance. Mary K.
