I was just wondering if an adapter existed that would allow me to use my old Amiga 1080 monitor on my IBM compatible PC? Any info would be great, Lyle

I doubt it. If the 1080 is just an earlier version of the 1084, it's a fixed scan rate monitor. The scan rate is 15.7 kHz (horizontal), the same as NTSC (American) TV and video. The old CGA computer standard used 15.7 kHz, but that is pretty much obsolete. The 1084 supports both Y/C and composite video, making it a good monitor for video applications. Perhaps your 1080 can serve likewise.

No. 1080 goes up to 15 Khz PC goes down to 31 Khz Sorry. But you can plug a video recorder instead!!! Rafa <Motorola Inside> from Berlin. >…olive oil is the way to go.<
