What is the pinout of the 23-pin port?

If your multisync syncs down to 15khz, there is no
requirement for
special hardware. The NEC Multisyncs up through the 3D all sync
down to 15Khz as do many others.

$15.

Max, your message consisted of one line of question with
dozens of lines of previous message. Please consider editing
out the parts you don't need.
Also, there are dozens of web pages with the pinouts of the various
Amigas. Did you try a web search before you replied? I entered
"23 pin port amiga" in Hotbot and got 1,970 hits, many valid.
Is the Amiga a valid topic for the mailing list? Surely the
first models fit the ten-year-rule, but the A2000 falls short
by at least a year or two. There are other resources
you can tap - the Amiga news groups out-post the classic groups
by at least an order of magnitude, and that's only counting
the English-speaking groups.

John -
I am new to the classic computers list, so I may be out of place. However - if you have a
problem
with a specific person, is it nescessary to post your reply in the list? Also, the 10 year
rule - is
it that strict, or just a guideline? I have two MicroVAX 3600, which debuted in 1987, but
these
weren't produced until 1989. Can I still talk about them here?
Before you consider censorship, consider this: Is it possible that other people check list
list for
information about Amigas of any vintage? If so, will the information about the 2000 be of
no use
whatsoever to them?
I don't mean to insult. Please send your reply, if any, to me directly.

New subject: Amiga 2000, in moderation
This is another John replying:
I've been on this list, off and on, for about a year now. I have seen the
10 year limit fluctuate quite a bit since I originally subscribed. I don't
really care if a post about Linux or Windows, or Pentium II processors pops
up once in a while, but that's just my opinion, and everyone has a
different opinion about any particular subject.
It is also my opinion that there should only be ONE moderator, and what he
says goes, no ifs ands or buts about it. He should be the one making the
call on stuff like this publicly, not members of the list.
Once again, these words are just my humble opinion and are not meant to
anger, enrage, ignite a flame war, start a massive thread about moderation,
or solve the Y2K problem in any way. So if anything like that happens, it's
not my fault. If anyone wants to argue either way on my opinion, they are
more than welcome to do so privately so as to reduce the signal to noise
ratio.
