I'm right on the edge of buying an Amiga 500, but I want to ask a couple of questions first. I'm planning to do some non-standard things, and I want to make sure they work. 1) I want to use a Multi-sync moniter. (Maybe Princeton Graphics new monitor--it's got a (theoretical) dot pitch of .28mm which is pretty good.) Does this REALLY work? 2) I want to use my IBM PC/XT Miniscribe Hardcard. Think I'll be able to plug this into a WEDGE board? (Incidentally, if Dave Allen, the WEDGE guy, wants to send me an Ad, I'd be forever in his debt) 3) I want to get an internal memory expansion board. Are there any third party ones with more than 512K (this is for a 500, remember) Grazie. -- | Duke Robillard {ihnp4!}m10ux!rgr | | AT&T Bell Labs m10ux!rgr@ihnp4.UUCP | | Murray Hill, NJ Disclaimer: I claim to live in Dis. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

They tell me that they have someone lined up to bring in an A2000 for testing. I'm hoping they'll make an appearance at the JAUG meeting this month - I did get their literature today: Scan: 15-35KHz horizontal, 45-120Hz vertical Dot Pitch: .28mm Resolution: 800x600 maximum Text Switches: Green, amber, cyan, white on blue Tilt and swivel base, non-glare etched screen with dark tinted glass. CRT: 12" diagonal Display Size: 215mm x 160mm Video Bandwidth: 30Mhz Infinite display colors, Analog and TTL inputs 1 year parts and service warranty I did get a look at the Sony CPD-1302 on a Mac II last night - and it was very sharp. I'm waiting for more information on both the Sony and the MultiSync II.

I've been using a Princeton Graphics Ultrasync with my A500 for 2 weeks now, and I have no complaints whatsoever. Stuart Pierce
