Does anyone know how compatible normal VGA monitors (i.e. non-multisync) are
with the A3000 (or the A2320 for that matter).  I know some of the display 
modes are not usable (e.g. all the 15kHz modes), but which are these?  If only
the non-interlaced productivity modes (1280 pixel horizontal) are unusable, 
this doesn't seem to be much of a loss.  Also, what cabling problems could
arise?  The particular monitor I am interested in hooking up is a Zenith FTM
14" (This monitor has the best display I have ever seen, bar none).  Again, 
if all that is necessary is a custom cable (i.e. just connecting the correct
signal lines) this is not a problem.  I noticed a lot of postings about
connecting multisync monitors to the A3000, but nothing about normal VGA.  The
brochure I have detailing the A3000 says this sort of connection should be 
possible, but given the difficulties some people seem to be having, I wonder.
