Is it possible to use an IBM monitor on the Amiga 500? Do you need a special cable and if so what kind and where do you get it? Thanks for your help.

Calvin, Depends on what kind of IBM monitor…if it's a CGA monitor, yes it will work with an Amiga, but you'll only get 16 colors max since IBM CGA monitors are digital monitors, not analog. Yes, you would need a special cable…places like Redmond cable could make one up for you. Don
