Hello David,

I was thinking more of small (probably passive) adaptors. They may just route the appropriate pins from the Amiga's video connector to a VGA one, but perhaps there are resistors to drop the video signal voltages to VGA levels.

On an ECS Amiga that would let me run 'productivity mode', although a scan-doubler would be nice to let me see NTSC & PAL screens too.

I have a friend that went through one or two Picasso boards. I was impressed with his, but my only Zorro-equipped Amiga is in Britain.

Thanks for the pointers!

  DLS> Also, try Fido AmigaSale. It could use some traffic.

I'm not sure whether the BBS I use carries that one.  It's tricky to figure out which conference maps to which echo because of the way they're labelled.

  DLS> Springfield, IL USA

It's good to know that I'm not the only Amiga user in Illinois :-)
