- Well, I haven't heard about a hack for the Nintendo pad, but the
- SEGA gam pad is directly compatable, just plug in and go. As for enhancing
- the display of a 1084, there isn't much you can do with that monitor. What
- you can do is get a "fllicker fixer" card, and a good SVGA/Multisync
- monitor for your Amiga. I've got the CBM flecker fixer in my 2000, and have
- it hooked up to an NEC 3D Multisync monitor. Works great. Hope this helps a
- bit...
