[ `---\-  Never the one dimensional sort ]

Has anyone successfully connected the Amiga to an IBM EGA monitor?
I've tried this with two separate monitors and two separate Amigas,
and two separate cables, both sold for specifically this, and no
combination seems to work.  (The cables were from Computer Attic.)
The problem appears as a loss of horizontal sync.

Oh, and by the way.  You might consider never plugging or unplugging
the video cable while the Amiga is on; there's some voltages going
over those wires which are easy to short.
