[Warning: I am a hardware-illiterate Amiga-novice...I *would*
appreciate knowledgeable answer phrased in a way a dummy could
understand it...Thanks...]

I am on the verge of buying an A3000 to take with me to Pakistan.
I cannot afford a two-page multisync...but: there is a two-page

Hitachi Type HM-1719B-6 nineteen inch analog RGB computer being
offered to me at a *very* reasonable price.  The phosophor on the
CRT is of the long-persistence type.  And I am told that you have
to look to see the flicker in interlace mode (current user is
using it with an A1000).

My work is limited to text editing and desktop publishing
applications.  

1)  Will this thing *work* with an A3000?  (Probably, yes, right?)

2) I know I will be losing something in going the "cheapo" way--
but I am saving over a thousand dollars...*What* will I be giving
up when I take this instead of a multisync?  Especially in view of
the type of work I plan to use this for (desktop publishing, text
editing)...[I have heard people mutter things about special
"productivity modes"--what exactly does this translate to; and
is it the case that I won't be able to benefit from these?]


ANY help greatly appreciated...

Thanks a whole lot...
