To
attach
the mouse, just plug the
end of
the mouse's
cable
into the
connector
labeled
JOy
I on the back of the main unit. It's a tight fit; this helps keep the
plug
in
place. Be
sure
to press firmly.
If
you're
right-handed, you'll probably
want
to place the mouse to the
right of
the
computer.
If
you're
left-handed, try putting the mouse to the left. Make
sure
that
the
place
you set
aside for the mouse is
at
least 12 inches by 12
inches (30
centimeters
by
30
centimeters)
and
that it's clean
and
flat.
Attaching the Video Monitor
The video monitor
displays
visual
information. There
are
three kinds
of video
monitors
you can
use
with
the
Amiga:
•
an analog
RGB
color
monitor.
The Amiga Monitor available from
Amiga
dealers
is an
RGB
monitor.
RGB monitors normally
produce
the
best-quality
display. The Amiga
monitors
feature an analog
RGB
input which allows
display
of theA
mig
a's
4,096
colors on a screen with
640 x 512 pixel
resolution
.
•
a digital
RGB
color
monitor. Digital monitors,
such as
those used
with an
lBM-PC®
can only
display
sixteen colors
instead
of
the
full
range
of
4,096. While it is possible to use this
monitor with the
Amiga (with
the
correct cable),
it
i~
not recommended
.
