Acer Multisync 2.) Mitsubishi Diamond Scan #1381 3.) Samsung Model #CN 4551 Talon's Comments are ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. You must use a "Multisync" and NOT a "Multiscan" monitor. The best way to find out which monitor you have is to see if it can "Auto Scan" in both horizontal and vertical. 2.) Your monitor must be able to receive an "Analog" signal. 3.) The frequency range of your monitor must be as follows; Vertical Auto-Sync 15 - 36Khz or better Horizontal Auto-Sync 45 - 90Khz or better 4.) The "Dot Pitch" of your monitor should be at least .31mm. 5.) Frequency band width should be at least 35Mhz or better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It was this last which was hard to match. I found a cheaper monitor which looked like it would work, but the frequency band was only 30Mhz and it put too much strain somewhere and started to overheat. [end of quote] The Panasync C1391C (which is the model described by the spec sheet here on the desk) meets all the requirements EXCEPT one . . . you guessed it, the last one (Frequency Band width isn't listed on the spec sheet, but Video Band width is (30Mhz), so I'm assuming they're referring to the same thing). Is this really a big deal? Does anyone out there have one of these working with an ST(e)? Enquiring minds want to know . . . >-- > ############################################################################## > # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # > # Microware Systems Corporation -- OS-9 / OS-9000 / CD-RTOS -- (408)980-0201 # > ##### Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them! ##### Dave C -- Dave Churchill DoD #266 CS Undergrad david10@garfield.cs.mun.ca Memorial University of Newfoundland ar473@freenet.cleveland.edu St. John's, Nfld.
