I was thinking about the same too, a while ago. I had following
conclusions, but everything is assumed though. I had not the
chance to try it out.
There should be no problem to display color in greyscales if you
by an RGB->video converter. Meanwhile they come for about $60.
Unless you do not have a graphics card and a Mega to fit it in, you
do not get a higher resolution, just a bigger display.
For mono things look different. If the converter is able to handle
72Hz and the monitor is too, you could try to connect the mono
output of the atari to the RGB inputs of the converter the same time.
This is the way it's done in my mono/color switch for the NEC 3D
multisync monitor. This should give you a 640*400 pixels display on
the big-screen.
As I said, all this is just a guess and its not granted. I couldn't
try it out. I may be totally wrong...

| Hi Bernd,
Thanks for the response.
What I was (of course) hoping to hear was that I would get a massive
desktop with higher resolution etc. etc.
I realise I might need a special adapter for this but it would be
really nice even if I have to pay a bit for it.
If I ever get hold of the monitor then I will try it and let you know
what happens.
By the way, I really want to get hold of the SARATOGAN virus killer.
Note 9.nnn says that you have it in MUNEDI:: somewhere or the other
but when I do a directory your ATARI directory has gone. Do you still
have this or know where I can get it on the net ???
Many thanks,
Jonathan

For sure you have to get hold of a graphics card if you want to get
higher resolutions. The monitor itself won't do. There are some
good graphics cards available for the slot in the Mega machines, and
two for the STs. One displays TT resolutions and is just to be
connected between monitor and the monitor port of the ST. No opening
or soldering. They showed it on the Atari fair in Germany. It costs
about 350 $. The other card is to be soldered on top of the 68000.
I bought that on but had no luck so far. Whenever I want to run the
program for the higher resolution I get bus-errors... (still working
on it). But for a resolution of about 1000*800 pixels they promised,
it was really cheap (~80 $) :-)
I moved all my files and also the rest of the easynet pd programs to
a workstation that is standalone in the moment. There was not enough
diskspace available for all the Atari files I gathered in MUNEDI
account. Somewhen IS might connect that workstation to the easynet,
then I'll post it. Meanwhile I will make Sagrotan available for you
on MUNEDI again, next week.
Cheers,
Bernd

| 1195.4 | TTM124 vs TTM125 | UFHIS::BFALKENSTEIN | | Thu Dec 05 1991 02:44 | 18 |

Before I go out and buy a new system, I want to be sure that its the
right thing. So this time I have the choice between a TTM124 and a
TTM125 19" monochrome monitor. What is the difference? The TTM125
seems to be the newer part (I haven't seen either of them) though the
TTM124 is a lot cheaper. What connectors do they have?
Also there is a graphics card that has a ECL/Analog, fixed or variable
frequencies output. I never heard of that one before. What is it and
what kind of monitors can I connect to this card (its 12xx * 1024
pixels mono)?
Thanks,
Bernd
