Hi all, well the day has finally come, I seem to have this nice new Amiga 2000 sitting here on my desk. Two questions for all the techies: 1. I have also bought the 2080 monitor, nice in interlace, but when playing games it sucks, there are streaks all over the screen. Now since I still own an Atari SC1224 colour monitor, I was wonder if it can be hooked up to the 2000 for when I want to play games? Both monitors are analog RGB. Any ideas???????? 2. I want to add a hard disk to the system(20 meg), as far as I can tell the 2090 card supports scsi and st506 interfaces, will this card support a Seagate ST225 hard disk(they can be bought anywhere for next to nothing)? Thanks for your time Barry Comer

Depending on the generation of the Atari monitor the results may be less than optimal. (Or so says Jim Kent (jim_kent on bix).) Early Atari monitors were excellent. They got er ah Jacknifed. -- Sometimes a bird in the hand leaves a sticky deposit. Perhaps it were best it remain there in the bush with the other one. {@_@} jdow@bix (where else?) Sometimes the dragon wins. Sometimes jdow@gryphon.CTS.COM the knight. Does the fair maiden ever {backbone}!gryphon!jdow win? Surely both the knight and dragon stink. Maybe the maiden should suicide? Better yet - she should get an Amiga and quit playing with dragons and knights.
