JIM, Can I jump into your 1960/1950 monitor thread to ask if any you guys have had problems running an Amiga1200 on them. I find the screen flickers very badly and the only time I can get a stable screen I lose a good chunk of the left-hand side of my monitor screen. Would this be the sign of a duff 1200 or is it just that the 1960 and 1200 are incompatable? Thanks in advance for any help you, or anyone else, may be able to offer. IAIN. CALLING IN FROM SCOTLAND ON A 68030 AMIGA1200! iain@altspor.demon.co.uk

Iain… I have exactly the same problems with my A1200 and 1960 monitor. It is however definitely a problem with the A1200 not the monitor because I also have an old 1950 monitor and it behaves in the same way when connected to the A1200. By the way if you ever get a chance to exchange your 1960 for a 1950 do so. The 1950 is much sharper. If you find a solution to your problem I would love to hear it. I suspect we need mother board swaps or atleast some chips swapped. *:^( I also have a GPV accelerator (40mhz) on the A1200. I haven't tried removing it to see if it is some of the problem. I notice the flicker is its worst when the computer is accessing a disk or the CPU is busy. ..Carl
