	The Amiga 3000 comes with a chip which does the work of a
flicker-fixer. There are three companies which make flicker-fixer
addons for the A2000, including Commodore. The Commodore board
can be found for under $250.
	And these boards do not eliminate NTSC compatibility. The
simply add a second video port with the same picture coming out
both, so you can have your video equipment hooked up to the old
port and the monitor on the new.
