Hi all, I have an A2000. I want to hook up my IBM's SVGA .28dot to my A2000. Is there anyway to do this. If so, What is it called and for how much. Thanks for any help. — Paul —

Paul; You have to have some sort of "Flicker Fixer" in your amiga to use a VGA/SVGA type monitor. Those monitors will not operate at 15KHz horizontal rate (NTSC) which is the Amiga's normal output. There are several of the de-interlacers (flicker fixers) available. -bill

You need one of the "flicker-fixers" to use the SVGA monitor with the Amiga. The original was from MicroWay, but there is one from Commodore, and others from third parties are available. These are hardware adapters, or graphics cards if you will, that change the Amiga's output to make it compatible with the SVGA or VGA monitors. —Betty

ICD's Flicker free video is a wonderful product. It fits under the denise chip, and does not use the video slot.

I've heard the same thing from lots of people. I bought a MicroWay flickerfixer before any of the other products was available, so I only have experience with it. —Betty
