Tempest Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Does anyone have a list of Multisync monitors that are compatible with the Falcon? I'm looking for an "all in one" monitor that will handle all those crazy ST modes and VGA. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Yeah but it doesn't say they work with the Falcon. Most Atari ST owners do not know that there is a group of Multi Sync Monitors that will work on the Atari 520ST/ 520STFM/ 1040ST/ 1040STE/ Mega 1- 4/Stacy/MegaSTE Atari Computers! The Falcon has a weird video port, and I'm not sure if the adapter will work with a Multisync monitor (or rather if all the multisync modes will work). IIRC the VGA adapter shuts down certain pins, mor specifically the ST modes. Likewise I think the ST adapter shuts down the VGA pins. Anyone know?

You would have to build a custom cable, or hack the "Falcon to VGA adapter" to pass through the ST signals. Mitch Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Anyone sell one of those? I'm surprised Best doesn't. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
