Another failed ST -> VGA experiement

[+DarkLord]

Well, I'm still trying...

 

I bought this unit from a store on Ebay and tried it. Says it requires 5v input to power it - my universal P/S from Walmart

only does 4.5 and 6, I tried both. I tried adjusting the pots, and using the menu switch, the auto scan switch, etc, and I

got no output from the Mega ST I was using at all - the 15" AOC monitor I was using flashes green on its LED's when

there is a legitimate signal - never got one. So, I don't know - unless someone has some other suggestions as to what

to try with it. Perhaps the CGA input signal its looking for is too far from the ST's standard signal.

 

 

This same setup, (Mega ST and AOC monitor) works ok in ST Low (but not Med - blurry and text drops out) with this

Ambery rgb to vga converter:

 

 

Just thought I'd pass along what some of my experiences are...

Is YPbPr a valid output? If so, instead of everyone coming up with s-video solutions, it would be nice to see YPbPr ones, as basically any NTSC TV would then be compatible.

I know of 2 ST users that bought this, they where unable to get it to work on the ST, However one had an amiga and it works with that.
