Box 259, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Woa! The Amiga (My all time favorite machine, a must for video work), displays its 480 hires lines in INTERLACED VIDEO--compatible with NTSC. The original poster wanted to know about a device that would take such video and remap it to the much higher bandwidth of the mac II's non- interlaced 400 lines. The sony monitor is not of the multiscan variety and cannot lock (and will probably fry) with the high mac resolution.
