Hi,
I never tried the RF as it's the lowest quality connection. The Atari 800 has
composite video out on the side, which would give you a better picture. My
Atari 800 is packed away, but if I get a chance I can try it out. I actually
have TWO Atari 800's because the first was badly broken in transit. The second
one also cracked but only slightly. These old plastic cases seem to be very
brittle.
Neat, I wish I had an MC-10. They used to sell for $50 a few years ago but seem
to be more like $100 now on ebay. I'm also looking for a TRS-80 Model 1.
Steve

The Sole LCD monitor arrived today. I did a quick test and was able to connect
the VIC-20 (composite) and Amiga 500 (RGB) up to it via scart. It really gives
a nice picture. I'm ordering another unit ;-) Only 11 left, get em while
they're hot! I can bring this to the TPUG meeting this week if anyone is

It's an 18.5" widescreen tv from for USD$50 and comes with a SCART input.
For those looking for an amiga monitor this should work nicely via scart. it
also has all the normal video inputs, like composite, component, hdmi and vga.
The only thing it needs is a stand. Oh, don't bother with the "best offer
option" as it will auto-decline anything below $48. With shipping and money
conversion it'll be about $120 CAD (plus import fees maybe). I'll give a
report on how it works when mine arrives ;-) Steve PS: Yes, I'm crazy...

Yes, I have tested my ntsc Amiga 1200 with a scart cable and it worked fine.
SCART wasn't really known here but the technology is pretty standard. The SCART
cable was just one giant all-in-one connector for composite, s-video, and RGB
analog, along with stereo audio. The Amiga and the old consoles use RGB analog
at 15kHz. Really, you don't need the SCART cable... you could just solder an
Amiga DB-23 cable directly to the SCART-to-HDMI adapter. Steve From:

I have one on order to try. You will need an amiga to SCART cable (about
$20) or you could wire up your own cable if you have a db-23 connector. This
adapter also works on quite a number of old consoles like Dreamcast, Genesis,
playstation etc, and should even work for C128 (which I plan to test as well)
and MAYBE even the PET ;-) Steve From: "Miraglia, Walter"
