picked up one of these at a doofis computer flea
market this past weekend. Didn't know anything about
it in particular, but the switch settings specific to
8, 16, 64 color TTL led me to believe it would be
applicable for vintage usage. I was right, following
my looking up it's specs on the web. Problem is the
thing displays nothing (although tube is emminently
functional - considerable static on the face of the
tube, and it flashes white when powered down), the
only *sign* is the blinking diode next to the up/down
contrast or brightness buttons (there's 4 in all, it
probably doesn't matter, and I can't remember). Anyone
have one, or a manual? It would be a shame if I
couldn't get this puppy operational.

Those old monitors used to go with the old Avid Media Composers in the
1990's (NLE video editing), they only do 800x600 and should do 15khz which
is usable on Amigas. Which port were you using and what did you connect to
it?

Yeah my laptop was probably pumping out 1024 x 768
come to think of it, but that never stopped any other
monitor I've played with from displaying *something*.
But most of those have been fixed frequency. I tried
both vga connectors. I didn't have a BNC cable handy
to try out that. I didn't alter the dip switches at
all. I'll need to know what purposes 6,7, and 8 serve,
because it's not described.
I guess I should try an Amiga group to find a manual
maybe...
Just for clarity, I doubt the monitor does only 800 x
600. According to the specs I found on the net, it
will sync down to 15khz, and maxs out @ 800 x 600
(36khz or so I guess).
Weird that they didn't supply a 9 pin connector. But
not really I guess since not too many people were
using them by 1992 (except for Fred C. of course LOL).
