- With an A3000 (and, I assume, A1200 and A4000), you just plug it into the 31kHz
- port on the back of the Amiga. With the A3000 (ECS) you don't sacrifice
- anything except SuperHires (1280-ish x 400-ish). Yes, even the Guru
- messages and the boot menu are displayed just fine on a VGA/SVGA monitor.

- If you're using an OCS machine (A500, A2000, etc), then you'll have to get
- one of the many graphics enhancements available. Microway's Flicker-Fixer
- and (somebody's) Flicker Free Video will do, but given that they both cost
- close to $300 USD, you might as well go for a graphics board.
