Kevin, I use the Boca VGA card with my 1950 on my A3000 and a dataswitch
to flip back and forth between the two outputs. I got it from my local
dealer Slipped Disk here in Lansing MI. There number is
(517) 349-7353 there open monday-sat 10am-8pm
Ask for Dennis, and he can tell you where he got the Dataswitch and Cables
The Dataswitch has no brand name on it, just 4 posisitions a,b,c,d and I
use A fo for Amiga outout and B for iBm output. The cables are from
Goldstar and were not cheap. About $30 each if I recall. But the box is
cheap and it works GREAT
The only thing you have to do, is flip the switch to the VGA display after
the systems gets by the 2.0/1.3.2 bootup screen, ie; before you see the
workbench screen pop-up, or you wont get any VGA output, until you re-set
the BB using the old CTRL/ALT/DEL keys. Don't know why that is, nig might
have to do with the Data Switch, not sure, but it's no bug deal.
You can then switch between the Amiga and VGA screens at will with no
problems I love it. I just sit the box on top of my monitor and away I go.
The 1950 co comes with an Adaptor, that you must also use with the system.
I think it just changes the gender of the Monitor cord.
