Default NEC multi-Sync A2000
Hi everyone,

I was wondering what steps I need to take after I connect a multi-sync monitor to my Amiga 2000? I am waiting on a special cable that has a 23 pin Amiga adapter on one end and a 15 pin D-sub on the other. It is called Amiga to NEC adapter, which I will be connecting an NEC XV 17+.
It only syncs down to 31khz. Do I need to change it to Double NTSC before I shut it down and hook up the NEC? If I am using a tv and an RCA cable for viewing Workbench, how will be able to put it in DBNTSC?:-?
It is a rev 6 so it does have ECS chipset. Thanks :-)

Hello AmigaPixel

I believe doubleNTSC (or doublePAL) requires the AGA chipset as in the A1200 or A4000.

To connect to a VGA type monitor you need a graphics card or a scan doubler like the Commodore A2320.

If you don't have a scan doubler/ flicker fixer you are not going to be happy with the results. The A2000 will only output 15.7 KHz, thus the problem.
Best solution is to get a graphics card. An older Picasso, or GVP Spectrum can be found on eBay fairly cheaply these days
