ACtually, you can.  But you must turn off your multisync to use the genlock,
otherwise the multisync controls the amiga's video. 
The daughter board is available NOW from dealers (they may need to order it)

I heartily agree.  My problem is that I saved up enough to get the FF and am
now looking for a good multisync (anyone every try the Ultrasync 16"?).
