Phill,
<<Have you tried removing the genlock?>>
Not yet. I am hoping that someone else has had a similar exprience that could
help me narrow down the problem without having to dissassemble my whole system.
Meanwhile there are some good people at Redmond Cable looking into this problem
for me, though they seemed mystified by it as well.
<< Also what do you mean by an acceptable signal?>>
Well I assume that the signal coming from my the A2000 RGB port is unacceptable
to the 1950 monitor because it produces a scrambled image with interference
lines running all over the screen. However my old monitor works fine on the
same port as does my DCTV.
As it is my system is quite usable, but I feel quite fortunate to have had a
genlock already installed or this 1950 monitor would have been entirely uselss
to me. Either the problem is in the adapter cable or in the A2000 RGB port
since the specs for the monitor indicate that it should be able to connect to
the Amiga RGB port. If the genlock is producing the problem then I suppose I
can live with it since it is just a hardware bug, and I know what is causing
it. Finding out will help me decide wether to send my Amiga to the shop for
repairs (a costly event), or if I just need a new adapter cable ( much more
reasonable).
BTW: Do you have any thoughts on my monitor driver problem?
Many Thanks,
Kapryan Kennedy
