Sorry, didn't see this till now.

Basically, this is one of the many things I know next to nothing about. I
don't really use PCs except at work. Although I have been running the
original Mechwarrior on my Amiga under pc emulation. :)

I gather there was a version of Siamese with RTG, or it was planned at
least.

But as for getting an 030 Amiga to display on pc monitors a lot of people
use scandoubler/flickerfixers which work quite well... I'd personally go
for an external version, but they are pretty rare.

If you look on the Amiga Org or Amiga World forums there's a lot of
knowledgable folks who can give some good advice with actual experience to
back it up.

I have a Mediator PCI busboard, so for growup stuff I dispaly via a
Voodoo3 card, and for old non-rtg games I have a TV card which receives
the Amiga's line out, and displays it via the voodoo pretty well. But its
not a particuarly cheap solution.

I think these days a lot of people find LCD monitors that accept SCART,
but apparently some are a bit picky.

>Where abouts are you based btw ?

In the South West.
