- My neighbor has a similar setup. He's got an SVGA monitor hooked to the
- RGB out and a C=64 monitor (Commodore 1702, maybe?) hooked to the
- composite. It works well, but I much prefer my display enhancer. :)

- Many games can be promoted, the others you'll have to turn on the 1084 and
- turn off the VGA.

-
- It's more space considerations than anything else. My neighbor's not had
- any problems with the setup (he'd probably reply but I don't think he reads
- this particular Amiga group). Works nice for using an acceptable
- resolution for serious stuff and still being able to play old (and new, but
- badly coded) games.
