#MONITOR
I found out that my Amiga 1200 is not compatible with a Tandy Monitor. I would
have had to have it scan 15.75 to 31 kilo so I guess I need to buy an Amiga
monitor. It was an RGB analog and all the hardward fit.(15 pin to 23 pin
adapter) but I couldn't set my Preferences. So I'm off to a new adventure.

using the Overscan Pref to display them for resizing. If they don't
display correctly, just hit the ECS key to return to the selection menu.

If you open the Icontrol Pref, there is a MODE PROMOTION option. This
option (when activated) attempts to substitute DblNTSC for NTSC, and
DblPAL for PAL screens.
The 3rd party utility called PPrefs does a better job of promoting screens
than Icontrol does. You can find PPREFS.LHA in the LIBs.
Beware that only screens that are opened in a system friendly manner, can
be promoted. Programs that bypass the OS's method of opening the screen
can not be intercepted for the screenmode substitution.
Also, I know of no promotion software that survives the reset, so copy
protected boot floppies can't be promoted.
