OOOOPS! I boobed. The A2024 does NOT require the ECS or separate display board.
All the additional circuitry is built into the monitor. I was getting it 
confused with the Moniterm monitor which does require the setup I described.
The A2024 can be used with any Amiga.

Thanks Randell for spotting that one for me. Apologies for any confusion I 
may have caused.

(It was a looong weekend - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :-) )
