In any case, >what are good monitors (both standard and multisync)? I'd strongly recommend a Multisync II. I use one here in the lab with an Amiga 2000 and I have one at home with a Flicker Fixer. The video looks much better than on the 1080, 2002, 1080, or Sony monitor/tv combo. To hook it up, just buy a cable from just about any mail order place or a local dealer. For best results, get a flicker fixer and build a little T-switch box to switch between FF video and standard video. It works GREAT! I have heard people say you can't use an NEC Multisync with interlace but I have done it with 3 multisyncs and 2 Amigas. Works fine. They also have this setup at one of the local dealers. I do know that improper cabling will confuse the multisync and cause it to miss behave in interlace mode but a properly made cable (available by mail order) works perfectly. Should cost under $20. ========== IBM is a Division of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation "their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws." - "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish" Lyle Levine: Paths -> ihnp4!wuphys!lel Best way: (314)889-6379 uunet!wucs!wuphys!lel
