1670.0. "Hi res monochrome here I go !" by CAMONE::ARENDT (DDT - The first and still the best) Wed Sep 07 1988 13:52

         I am going to open a new chapter in an old topic.  Refering to note
    1339.1 I have instructed my local computer store to order me the
    TTL HI-res Monitor Adaptor for 74.95.  When it arrives I will have
    them test it in thier AMIGA 2000 (Just like mine) with all the
    TTL monchrome monitors that they have.  It should arrive by September
    13th and I should be testing it that night or the following weekend.
    I will post the results on this note.
         If anyone else has this hardware then feel free to post the
    info here.  I am so tired of trying to use the 640x200 color display
    for characters that I am willing to be the first to try this. Wish
    me luck.
    
    Thank you for your support

         Well I won't be buying this after all.  The computer store which
    ordered it for me was told that they had shipped the first batch
    and were not ready to ship the second batch yet.
         Meanwhile back at the Ranch, I talked to a local users group
    member who told me it was not a flicker fixer after all and that the
    TTL output would just be going to a long persistance monichrome
    monitor. He told me I could get the same effect by buying a Magnavox
    Monitor 80 in Amber and driving it off the monochrome composite
    output on my 2000.
          So I called the computer store, canceled my order and ran
    down to Lechemeres and bought the monitor and "viola" it works
    just fine.  There is a minor amount of flicker on long straight
    line but you need to look for it to find it.
