- Does your Amiga 2000 have the OCS (original chip set) or ECS (Enhanced
- Chip set)? If it has ECS, you should be able to use the Productivity
- display for a VGA-like (~31khz) display on your VGA monitor. The only
- limitation is that you only get 4 colors (out of a palette of 64). But
- you would have a high res VGA display WITHOUT a flicker fixer. You would
- need the 23-pin to 15-pin connector. I've seen these advertized for $20
- or less. A flicker fixer would of course give you more options (and you
- would not need the 23-pin to 15-pin adapter).
