#1084S for VGA?
5 messages in this thread
Howdy Folks, I've a question for ye all. Can a CBM 1084S Monitor be used
as a VGA monitor for a IBM/Clone? Thanx folks.
The 1084S will only work in CGA modes from what I remember. It can't
handle the scan rate of VGA or SVGA, it only goes to 15.something KHz., I
believe that VGA uses 31 KHz. scan rate. That is why hi-res screens are
interlaced on the older Amigas.

Tyhanx for the info James, I was HOPING to use my 1084S for double duty
with a 486-66DX2, I guess I'll have to go for a Extra Monitor. Thanx
again

Hi there Peter, I think you are a little lost dropping this message into
the CDTV/CD32 message base, but I'll answer your question.
The simple answer is no, because the 1084s only accepts one input
frequency and as such is not compatible with the IBM/CLONE output
(different frequency) You may be able to get a converter though.
Hope I could be of assistance…
