Someone is offering to sell me very reasonably a Sony RGB monitor, CDP 13__. I missed the last part of the #. It was used on an old ibm at with an old original Targa video card, and the seller doesn't have any use for it as it won't do VGA. Will this monitor work on my Amiga 2000? Do I just need a cable? It has an 8-pin rect. RGB Monitor connection, with analog/digital switch. Thanks for any help! Barry

Barry, I used to have a Sony CDP-13xx, but can't remember the xx. Might have been 1304. It had a res of 640×480 specified in the manual. The other descriptions you give fit. It had a narrow compartment at the bottom of the rear panel with a hinged cover. You could check by asking Redmont Cables if they have the Amiga cable. If they do, that will be your cue <g>. Mine just needed the cable. I was also able to use it with the FlickerFixer, using a different cable.

THanks, DJ. Forgive me, I didn't have the complete model no., hence the 13xx. I'll have to inquire for the complete model #. Thanks for the info! I had a feeling it would work. I don't understand yet exactly when the flicker fixer is needed: my main application is the Toaster; by buying this Sony, I would then use my 1084S as a Super VHS program monitor. Barry

Barry, If the Sony monitor is a CDP-1302 or 1303, it is compatible with all the Amiga modes. You'll probably need to get the right cable for it and Redmond Cable has it. Contact info is below: Redmond Cable P.O. Box 865 Cleveland, TN 37364-0865 Tel: 615-478-5760 Fax: 615-472-3647 Regards, John Chang
