- It's only partially true. Whilst there is no deinterlacer on the A4000, you can
- enable a 'promotion' feature in preferences which will de-interlace all screens

- to the problem.

- I admit that it's not the best solution. A deinterlacer would be real nice, but
- would also add to the cost of the machine. Remember, the A4000 would have to
- buffer 24 bits of data, the A3000 only buffers 12 bits.

- The A3000 doesn't deinterlace the Super72 modes. Amber passes them straight
- through.

- ...and with 'promotion' enabled, there is a fair chance they will be
- deinterlaced. (Personally, with the exception of art packages, I won't even
- bother with productivity software that cannot work on my workbench).
