I have received quite a few replies, I would like to thank all of you
that replied, especially cmcmanis@sun.com and ari@cunix.cc.columbia.edu

I was really surprised by the number of replies I receive, I guess this
is the place to go for support instead of calling Commodore's Hotline
BTW I am getting my Amiga next week, anybody interested in a "slightly used"
IBM XT? :-)


Below is a summary of the replies:

Yes, it is possible to connect an Amiga to a digital RGB monitor, but
you will need to get the right cable or make a custom cable for it.
The catch is that you will only be able to display 16 of the 4096 colors
the Amiga offers.
