Hi Folks.
...
Some questions about A4000 Monitors & other stuff...:
...
1. Would a NEC 3FG/4FG be a good monitor for th a4000, I mean would it be able
   to display *ALL* the resolutions?
   As far as I know it syncs down to 28khz so what would happen with the 'old'
   GFX Modes which, are 15.6khz or so?
   ---> What a terrible pity the GREAT NEC 3D is out of production |||
...
2. Do the AGA custom chips run at the good old7.14Mhz? And the Chip-Ram?
...
3. I hear a lot of people complain bout the IDE Controller. Is it really that
   bad, I mean is it true that the CPU is completely busy with data transfer
   when having a HD-Access?
   So, would a relative multitasking still be granted when, as example, I am
   downloading something at 14.4k baud onto the HD?
   Is it true that Commodore will release a Zorro III SCSI II Controller in
   January?
...
4. I would like to repeat my quest for the *new* Hardware Reference Manual at
   this point. Someone heard about it lately?
...
5. I would still sell my mother for a portable a600HD.
