I have a friend who is interested in buying an Amiga and we wanted to know if an MultiSynch monitor could be used by the Amiga 500? Anybody know anything out there? Thanks. Ken

Ken, IF the multi-sync can take normal NTSC RGB Analog input…then yes it can be used with the Amiga. Don

Hello Don, Can you tell me if anyone is using the Sony CPD 1302 multi-sync with their Amiga's. Thank You, Kevin Newsome 72247,3127

Kevin, I don't know anyone personaly using one…but that doesn't mean they can't be used. In fact, if it will accept normal NTSC standard RGB Analog input…then yes, it can be used. Don

Don, Why would anyone want to use a multisync? The Amiga has straight 15.75 khz horizonal scan rate signals, right? Let's let my ignorance show – the max res is 640X400 interlaced, right? And yes, the mytisync will work. Argh, that's multisync! Mark

Mark, Ah…why would anyone want to use a multi-sync monitor…several possibilities there: 1. They already own one 2. They think they may have other uses for it 3. They want one anyway 4. They are going to buy Microway's (I think that's who it is) de-lacer that will require the higher sync rates for non-interlaced video. 5. Because it's there <grin> Don

Gotcha – just hoped that people didn't think they _needed_ one! The "de-lacer" is a neat idea though. Mark

Hi, Ken. It should work if the monitor will lock up at regular TV (NTSC) rate of 15750 Hz. Most do, I believe. You may have to rig up an actual connector for it depending on what connectors the Multisync has. I take it he already has one? Karl
