	I am absolutely amazed at what the new display enhancer does
to standard Amiga graphics screens.  Even though Shadow of the Beast
does not work with my A3000, I get some of the initial screens
(check out the screen that looks like the box cover w/ and w/out
the disp. enh.. WOW!!).  Now, I own a CMI VI-500 RF converter and
have used it with an A2000 to dump Amiga graphics to video tape.
I know that the A3000 has a 23 pin connector to which I could hook
my encoder AND I also have 2 connectors which came with my A3000
which will convert from the connector for the 31 KHz out to a 
23 pin connector.  So I have a couple of questions.  One, does
the display enhancer affect the data output on the standard
15.?? KHz 23-pin connector on the A3000?  If not, is there
ANY reason (such as "the CMI cannot handle 31 KHz") why I cannot
use the 31 KHz to 23-pin converter to hook up my encoder to 
the 31 KHz out so that I can dump these display-enhanced images
to video tape??  This would be a MAJOR Boon for the Amiga video
market, since the images NOW look much better.  Are the images
processed with the display enhancer NOT NTSC compatible???

Any information on what can and cannot be done w.r.t. this stuff
would be appreciated.  I am sure that a lot of potential and current
A3000 owners would be interested in this information.

Thanks,
