Atari ST to VGA adaptor
-----------------------
Claes Holmerup
17 Aug 1998

You can use an SVGA monitor with an adaptor cable (which is rather easy
to assemble) to get a monochrome picture. Some VGA monitors _may_ work,
but all SVGA (or multiscan, multisync or whatever) should work as far as
I know.

Here's how you make your adaptor:

Atari (13-pin DIN) SVGA (15-pin HD D-type)
------------------ -----------------------
11 (Monochrome output) 1,2,3 (Red, Green, Blue inputs)
12 (Vertical sync) 14
9 (Horizontal sync) 13
13 (Ground) 4,5,6,7,8,10,11
4 (Monochrome detect) short to ground (as above)

The trick here is that the monochrome signal is fed to all the inputs on
the SVGA-monitor, which gives you a very nice monochrome picture. Even
though the monitor in fact is a color monitor, you won't be able to see
a color picture because of the construction of the computer (and the
monitor). If you get your hands on a monitor which handles frequencies
down to 15kHz, it's a whole new deal - then you should be able to build
yourself a cable with a switch between mono and color (a little more
complicated, involving a 4-way switch, but possible all the same). Just
about no modern monitors go lower than 30kHz, so in most cases there is
no other choice than mono - but since most useful programs (IMHO) run in
monochrome, it's the best alternative anyway...

Good luck!
