| No. Timing and resolution is substantially different. Larger screen
sizes would be a substantial modification of the Atari video generator
and ROMs.

| 64.2 | VT200? | OPG::CHRIS | Capacity Planner Who Almost Got it Right! | Wed Apr 27 1988 09:20 | 3 |
| Is it possible to connect to a VT200 type device instead?

| The file PRNSYS::DUA1:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]MONITOR.TXT describes how I
hooked up a DEC VR241-type monitor to my Atari-ST. The VR241 is the
monitor portion of a VT241 terminal.

| 64.4 | Thanks | OPG::CHRIS | Capacity Planner Who Almost Got it Right! | Thu Apr 28 1988 04:17 | 5 |
| Cheers,
Anyone know how to connect to a VT220?

| Sure just plut it into the serial port, and it's connected, but I can't
see how that would be very useful.
What do you want to DO with the VT220?
(Okay here's one thing. The V3 Mark Williams C debugger has a switch
that uses the serail port for debugger I/O so that you don't have to
mess up your GEM screen as you single step through the code. Another
thing is that it wouldn't be hard to make MicroEmacs use the serial port
instead of the screen, but for a VT220, there's hardly a reason to.)

| 64.6 | TV vs 220 | OPG::CHRIS | Capacity Planner Who Almost Got it Right! | Thu Apr 28 1988 13:55 | 3 |
| I have a 220 at home I would like to use this instead of my TV.

| 64.7 | VT220, life as a monitor | MILRAT::WALLACE | | Thu Apr 28 1988 17:36 | 20 |
| Not knowing much about VT220's I suspect that the BNC on the back of
the VT220 is for composite video input (it could be an output I
suppose).
If that is the case and if what Chris wants to do is use the VT220
as a monitor (as apposed to a terminal) then I have this to say:
The VT220 would not be able to handle the ST frequencies if
connected as a monochrome monitor (which the VT220 is).
If you made the ST think that the VT220 was a color monitor
(which is easy to do) then the VT220 could handle the frequencies
comming from the ST. BUT, since you only be able to connect
one of the three color channels to the VT220 most programs would
probably be uninteligible. I currently have a color monitor
with one bad channel and that makes a lot of programs difficult
to use because usefull/neccessary information is usualy on the
channel thats broke. Having "two broken channels" would be even
worse.

| The BNC is a video output. It's for all those wonderful educational
applications where you want to have your work displayed in n-tuplicate.
Using a VT220 as a monitor would require opening the sucker up and
probably cobbling together some glue circuitry.
