Hi Daniel, To quote from the OpalVision manual: "Warning: Never plug a monitor into the standard 23-pin Amiga Video Port while an OpalVision card is installed in your Amiga. This may overload the output circuitry in your Amiga and cause permanent damage." Now in reality I think this only applies to simultaneous use of two monitors, but the warning says never do it, at any time. I tried hooking up a monitor to the 23-pin port only with the Opal card installed and the display was very dim. Note I didn't have two monitors hooked up at the same time. If it wasn't for the great software included with this board, I would say a Picasso II, Spectrum, etc would be a better choice. (That is if you can get NTSC video out of them, which I am not sure). Hope it helps.
