When I need color, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A few quick, possibly naive questionsxD: 1. I thought that the Moniterm Viking was a 19 inch, while the A2024 was 14 inch. Are they the same monitor, or are both of them different models manufactured by Moniterm? Are there any other models in the Moniterm line that will work with the Amiga (what other models are there?) 2. I'm from Minnesota, and last I read Moniterm was in Chapter 11. What is the status of Moniterm Inc, and will this affect the A2024? 3. Are there any other large 3rd party monitors that will support the 1008x800 mode? The A2024 is nice, but I believe its only 14 inch, and that seems to small. Are there any large VGA, SVGA or Multiscanning monitors (16 inch +) that will support these modes? I don't think its possible, but if it is, I'd like to know.

I guess you sort of have it with something like DCTV, but I've seen some nice simultaneous displays on the Mac...will the Lowell board support this? > > -- > Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" > {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy > "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight" -R.E.M.
