2720.0. "Amiga with VR160 or VR290?" by GIAMEM::I_SHAW (Mike Bell at BPO-1/17) Fri Jul 07 1989 17:31

	Is there any way to make an Amiga's RGB color output compatible with
a VR160 or 290 DEC RGB monitor?  If so, has anyone done this and how are the
results?

2720.1Maybe with Flicker Fixer...?BOMBE::MOOREBaN CaSe_sEnSiTiVe iDeNtIfIeRs!Fri Jul 07 1989 21:283
    I believe the DEC monitors are set up to run at higher than "NTSC" scan
    rates.  They *might* work (just guessing here...) with a Flicker Fixer,
    probably not with the standard Amiga RGB.

    The Flicker Fixer is a 31.5 kHz output device....and the technical
    specs for the VR160 (15" GPX monitor) say that the scan rate for
    that monitor is 54.054 kHz.
    
    If I add a Flicker Ficker to my B2000 and connect it to my VR160,
    what would happen?  Would it work...any gotchas that anyone can
    think of?
