How do I hook up my 500 to a SVGA monitor?
Unless you've got something like a FlickerFixer that puts out a 31khz
signal, you don't.

I don't have a flickerfixer. Oh well. Anybody have one fore sale?
Donovan,
You'll need a deinterlacer.
Thanks Michael, I'll look for one.
As everone has said, you need a de-interlacer board, more specifically a ICD
Flicker Free Video, which is the only one that fits in a A500.
Also…be careful as to you selection of VGA monitors, many will display black
borders on the sides where the overscan area should be. Best monitors I've
found to give you full use of the screen are AAmazing Multicans and the Samsung
3NE. The Samsung has a better picture, so I'd recommend it first.

Thanks for the exact info Ray. I'll keep my eyes peeled for an ICD Flicker
Free Video. Whatever happened to ICD anyway? I thought they had some pretty
neat products a while back. Though expensive.
ICD is still around, I don't know what they're up too lately. They do make some
good products, Flicker Free Video is the best de- interlacer board out there..I
hope they are still making them. I'm a dealer and I just sold my last one this
month, I need some more. 🙂

Ray,
Believe me ICD is alive and well. They still ship both the FFV and FFV2.
Although their automated phone system is a little annoying. Make sure you get
an extension # from someone as soon as you make contact , else all you do is
end up leaving your name, address, phone, message etc etc etc etc..
They have been very good with me in helping solve problems I've had recently.

So whatever happened to the Viper and all other new products?

Paul,
That I know nothing about. I wasn't following any of the new developments,
though considering the road everyone's on now with the amiga I doubt if I would
be starting up production on anything new for it only.
