Hi,
Will a CGA monitor be able to handle 320x200 lo-res? I
wonder if
people have tried hooking them up to Commodore 1902s or 1084s.
I used to use my 520STM+ (a 520STM factory upgraded to 1MB RAM, a UK only
thing I believe) on a Philips CM8833 monitor, it would handle both low and
medium res without a problem. I know STs can also drive CBM 1701s without a
problem.
However, unless the monitor output of the STacy is different to the normal
ST, it won't drive a CGA monitor. CGA monitors expect TTL RGBI, whereas the
ST outputs analogue RGB (albeit at TTL levels, hence the reason for having
to install dropper resistors in the RGB lines when driving a normal,
non-Atari colour monitor).
TTFN - Pete.
