When it comes to the A500 and A1000 video output specs; anyone who could point me to a good source regarding 1) resolutions including the RGB specs. Asking since I'm trying to get the A500 to work with VGA screen which might be forgiving if it gets the appropriate firmware update to accept non-vga inputs. But, I just needs to data to be able to work against.

So, got my old Amiga 1000 and 500 out again and fixing them up as they've haven't used since 1996-ish something... But, quickly over to what I'm trying to fix; I've got a flat panel screen which supports 15KHz analog/digital RGB and was wondering about what is the appropriate cable connection to connect from Amiga 1000/500 DB23 to VGA DB15? EitherMore I just make my own cable or should I go for the Amiga VGA converters which is available and if that is the way I've noticed that for the 500 and 1000 it should be none-buffered adapters - whats the thing here with buffered and none-buffered?
