I've been using my old Microvitec 14" multiscan (also sold with Amiga
labels, Amiga M1438 I think). I can use an 800*600 res max (well...few
pixels bigger really). And that's already getting to big for a 14" for my
liking...but well...I aint got any cash either =)

You do notice the difference between 50Hz and 70Hz..your PAL tv is 50Hz..but
some expensive models are 100Hz..and the picture is much
smoother/relaxed...much less straining for your eyes to watch.

Oh well...Amiga's have been hacked/changed/modified so much the last
years...and prices are skyhigh..and dealers charge fortunes for even the
smallest modification...

It's in the flashrom of your BlizzPPC, to find out the version of the
ppc.lib in rom even while you have it in libs: is:
Version PPC.library INTERNAL FULL (full to see the date)
