The Seiko CM-1430 is a VGA only monitor (it doesn't sync at 15.75 KHz).
You can't hook it up to the Amiga 2000 directly at present -- you must get
a Micro-Way FlickerFixer (or some equivalent device) that generates a VGA
compatible signal.  The FlickerFixer comes complete with wiring information
for VGA monitors.  For a source of high-density 15 pin connectors for VGA
(and for DB-23 connectors!), I suggest:

	Electronics Plus
	800/548-7135 (outside California)
	800/321-4524 (inside Califonia)

The cable on the Seiko CM-1430 is not detachable, so I made a
DB-9/high-density adaptor that fits inside a double-ended jumper box (same
size as a null-modem/gender-vendor adaptor).

The display is very sharp and clear -- I'm satisfied with the display quality
but would have liked the input versatility of the Mitsubishi Diamond Scan
multisync monitor (bigger dot pitch and smaller max resolution, but syncs a
wider range of signals and accepts analog RGB, digital RGB, and NTSC).
I bought the Seiko with the hope that I'd someday be able to use its maximum
resolution/dimension (1024x768).
