I am not sure but this question has probably been asked a lot already but I havent seen anything about it. I will be moving soon and will probably be getting a 3000 before I get back on boards again so I am asking now. What are the different scan rates coming out of the 3000 and is there one monitor that can handle all of them and overscan? Will the ColorBurst (I know its from MAST and will probably never see the light of day, but..) work on a 3000 and what scan rates does it need? How about the U Lowell board?

The A3000 will generate two basic scan rates, the roughly 15kHz horizontal rate normally associated with NTSC compatible video, and the roughly 31kHz horizontal rate normally associated with PClone VGA video. There are both interlaced and noninterlaced modes in both resolutions, though the one interlaced 31kHz mode is generally considered kind of wacky (640x960 interlaced). All modes support overscan to some extent. Most computer monitors work reasonably well with overscan, as they don't worry too much about showing borders. Some of the Commodore monitors let you choose to show the overscan region or run it beyond the edges like a TV set. -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight" -R.E.M.
