Ok, to use a switchbox as you want, you'll first need a switchbox. most any
of the better (read that as more shielded) boxes will do. You should
probably decide now if you want to get an AB switch (2 ports) or ABCD (4
ports) unit, depending on if you plan to use a Bridgeboard/VGA card in the
future. Now, the cables you will need are as follows:
1 15 pin VGA to 9 pin (NEC style) cable 1 9 pin to 9 pin cable.
Thats all unless you add a VGA card to a bridgeboard, then you'd need an
additional 15 pin to 9 pin, or if you add an EGA card, you'd need a 9 pin
to 9 pin. I hope this helps. BTW, the way it would be setup is you'd plug
the monitors cable into the supplyed 15 to 9 adapter. then you'd plug that
into the switchboxes common connector. then the 9 pin to 9 pin would go
from FF to switchbox position A, and the 9 pin to 15 pin would go from
position B to the supplied 15 pin to 23 pin adapter. This would give you
the flickerfixer on A, and normal Amiga video on B.
