Huh?  Uh, a monitor won't de-interlace the amiga display on its own.
Unless, of course, it's a Hedley monitor!  ;^)  (Translation: you
probably need a flicker fixer.)

How much you getting IBM SCSI controllers for these days?  Jeez, you sound
like you came from Mars.  Mass Volume causes prices to go down, maybe?
IBM stuff isn't cheap, by the way, but compatible hardware reflects
volume pricing.

Sales management?  Yeesh.

Anyway, you'll begin to find more autoboot controllers when V1.3 comes
out (when will that be, anyway?).  I suggest you call vendors of SCSI
controllers you like and ask them when an Autoboot version will be
available and to put you on a mailing list or waiting list.  
Even Commodore's autoboot controller (A2090A) isn't available yet.  I
don't suggest calling CBM for A2090A availability info, by the way.

Note that CBM's controller supports both SCSI and ST-506, so you can
use those cheap disks bought from IBM ;^).

Try to cover your mouth when you talk, some of your posting is pretty
embarrasing stuff.

)Thanx for the help.
