Hi all,
I have read most of the monitor notes in this file and I have
seen references to a switch box to allow a multi-sync monitor
to be driven either with the output of a flicker-fixer or the
ordinary amiga video port. Does anyone know where I could
aquire such a switch? I have a flicker fixer and am in the process
of aquiring a multi-sync monitor and I would like to be able to use it
at both frequency for games and things that might blur.
Thanks in advance
Harry

Re: .0 From the memo (posted elsewhere in this notesfile) by the designer of the MicroWay FlickerFixer: >How can I use the new display modes if I have a flickerFixer? > > Just connect your monitor to the Amiga 23 pin RGB output. > If desired, a standard 9-pin switchbox can be set up to switch > a multiscan monitor between the flickerFixer and the Amiga > output connectors. Check with your dealer (or Redmond Cable). Redmond advertises in the Amiga magazines. They manufacture/stock all sorts of weird cables and switch boxes for connecting anything to anything else. | |||||

re -.1
Thanks for the info Randy! I called Redmont and got a quote for the
monitor cable I needed which turned out to be a straight through
9 pin connector. The want 60.00 for the switch box which seems
kinda pricy to me so I am going to check around a little first.
The cable to connect the flicker-fixer to my newly purchased
Samsung monitor was 18.00 plus shipping.

Redmond is pricy, but then again any vendor that makes low volume items
such as cables tends to be that way. My local dealer tries to carry a
good variety of cables, but due to the cost there is no room for
markup. It turns out to be more of a service than anything else. Of
course people that come in looking for a special cable all think the
dealer is gouging them. If I'm around I tell them they could always
make their own, and then pay to have the Amiga repaired if they mess
it up. I paied $50.00 for the parallel switch box I use now. it was
high but the quality was there. Cables, and switch boxs have been
the BANE of computer users since day one.
