>1) Why get a fatter agnus?

To have 1 MB Chip RAM available. Then you can have more screens and
sounds and windows open simultaneously. E.g. in DPaint you then can
take a whole HiRes screen into a brush.

This *IS* ECS Agnus. Only in the A3000 you have another modification
with even 2 MB Chip RAM (no other differences).

>3) IS WB2.0 available to regular 1.2/1.3 people.

Not yet.

>4) How can I generate NTSC signals to record on my vcr.

Use an RF modulator like the A520 for the A500. This one also
provides a video output (not modulated onto RF).
If you have higher quality needs then look for a Genlock.
