<p>To get the Atari ST onto a modern monitor, I use RGB-to-VGA adapters. I have three of them: a passive MCSWITCH adapter on the "Low" machine, a self-built adapter on the "High" machine, and a newer active ST2VGA Enhanced that isn't in use yet.</p>
<h2>The MCSWITCH (Low machine)</h2>
<p>The <a href="/retro/atari-mega-st-fleet/">Mega ST 4 "Low"</a> uses an <a href="http://www.albersdoerfer.de/erweiterungen/stvga.htm" target="_blank">MCSWITCH</a> adapter (ATARI Monochrome &amp; Color VGA Adapter) by Olivier Gossuin. It shows all three ST resolutions on a suitable VGA monitor, with a switch for mono and color, an A/V connector, and volume buttons. It's documented on <a href="http://www.albersdoerfer.de/erweiterungen/stvga.htm" target="_blank">albersdoerfer.de</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="/retro/atari-mega-st-fleet/">Mega ST 4 "Low"</a> uses an MCSWITCH adapter (ATARI Monochrome &amp; Color VGA Adapter) by Olivier Gossuin.

The version documented on <a href="http://www.albersdoerfer.de/erweiterungen/stvga.htm" target="_blank">albersdoerfer.de</a> also has an A/V connector and volume buttons, but mine is an older revision without the volume buttons and with a slightly different look. I can't find my exact version at Olivier's anymore, nor a newer one, so the adapter I have is a bit of a rare older revision.</p>
<h2>The self-built adapter (High machine)</h2>
<p>The <a href="/retro/atari-mega-st-fleet/">Mega ST 4 "High"</a> uses a self-built adapter. I followed the guide at <a href="https://pest.atari.org/www.logicsays.com/atari/mono/docs/atari_vga.htm" target="_blank">pest.atari.org</a> to build a simple RGB-to-VGA adapter for the Atari monitor port.</p>
