Stupid Amiga Tricks

Why does everything have to be so difficult?

I'm trying to set up an Amiga 500 for tonight's Computer History Museum
event. It's got a DB-23 RGB output and a Mono out. I've got an Amiga
1080 high resolution color monitor. It's got a Video and Chroma input,
plus a DA-9 RGB input. I've got an Amiga RF Modulator that plugs into
the DB-23 on the back of the Amiga and has a composite Video and Audio out
(and an RF out). Then I have several video cables. One is a DB-25 to a
DIN. Another is a DIN to three RCA leads. And then there's the DIN to
DA-9. At least one of these might be for the Atari 520ST (which I also
need to set up).

None of this connects up in a way which gives me colour on the display.

Is it too much to ask to have products designed by people who are not
insane?
