	I'll add to my own message and mention the 1-meg/2-meg agnus's ability
to switch, in either hardware (I had a switch for a while) or software to PAL. 
PAL works on most monitors, and boosts the vertical resolution to 256
(non-overscan) in the lo-res modes and 512 (non-overscan) in hi-res, with a
slight flicker (50Hz vs 60 for NTSC).
