It sounded like the best name at the time! :-)  Note that he said "more or

memory...

This may seem like a trivial question, but does the Domino board then produce
a high-resolution mouse pointer under Workbench? Also, is there any word on
whether this card will be available in North America (as appears to be the
case with the Visiona board)?

Marc, you are wrong and you know that. Any 'game' that insists of using
an interlaced display will show interlace, however, there are few games
that use interlace anyway. Any other program will get a deinterlaced
screen (i.e. DblPAL or DblNTSC). Especially _old_ _unsupported_ utilities
will have a problem to circumvent promotion as they cannot explicitely
request a monitor type. This is a 2.0 function and programs that ask for
a certain monitor type usually give that as a user option, the majority
will stick with default.monitor, i.e. follow the user preferences.

Also, since there is now (or at least there is supposed to be) a CDTV SCSI 
controller, would it be possible to connect a CDTV to an Amiga via SCSI?
This would require some software, but are there any hardware problems ie,
would there be a conflict in the SCSI address of the two controllers ??
What would the pros/cons be over using PARNET ??

The pins are quite limited in usefulness.  They go into a 74x166 shift register
that is cascaded with the one that clocks in the mouse x/y quadrature bits and
can be read by software as 8-bits in one of the chip registers.  Note that
this didn't require a single extra pin on the custom chips, actually we were
able to eliminate two pins by changing from the original 4x2 mux to the serial
scheme.

This was done mostly because we wanted to be able to read in some configuration
or general utility bits without having to add another 8520 or otherwise
complicate the architecture.  Making them available for application use would
mead that we couldn't rely on them being available for this use it the future
without breaking someone's magic widget.

I am under the strong impression that a part of the RS232c standard
is a statement that it is supposed to be safe to plug and unplug
from the circuit while it is live. So the decision by C= to not
protect the expensive chips behind the ports from damage in case oc

engineering design, . It is So that the engineers involved don't feel

People have been talking about Commodore's proposed Zorro II SCSI-2

out with a SCSI card for Zorro III, but SCSI-2 was not mentioned.  Is
the SCSI-2 just wrong, or is there some reason to believe Commodore

     Well, I must say I am really confused.  To use a phrase someone posted a 
few hundred posts back, I am a hapless new amigoid.  I have owned an A500 for a
few months and am just now finding some real time to have fun with it.  Well, I
have had some fun and I want to make a switch..to an A4000.  I have been 
diligently reading hundreds of posts from this newsgroup, and although I think 
I have learned a lot, I am generally fairly clueless I suspect.  I am not a 
programmer nor hardware guru so many things went completely over my head.  
Basically, there has been much talk about what is good with the new A4000 and 
what's not.  There has also been a lot of talk about how to get around the 
not-so-desirable aspects of the new Amiga.  Simply, my problem is, now I am 
utterly lost.  I would like to know what I can and cannot expect when I buy the
new Amiga.  A few examples are, What monitors are there that handle the widest 
range of Khz and/or screen sizes that the A4000 uses?  What software and 
hardware can I and can't I use that were usable by previous Amiga models?  Can 
I add more chip RAM?  Would it be best to wait for a while and 'let all the 
bugs shake out'?
Any answers would be most appreciated.  If responses are e-mailed, I will 
summarize them all.  I know there are a lot of questions and probably more 
answers, but I would really like to be fully informed before undertaking such a
large purchase.  The different salesmen I talk to seem much less knowledgeable 
than me and try to tell me things that they think I want to hear.  It is really
hard to find good advice these days.
Thanks much in advance for responses and for taking the time to read such a 
long post!!

Well, as always: "It's In There!" You have both ways (wheel and sliders)

RGB of SHB sliders! I think this is a good example how the OS (or its

That's simple. You just choose the lower 2 bits of your 64 base colors so
that they assume any possible combination. It seems not so important to
introduce further rules.

I *hate* these precise sounding numbers when they are plainly wrong,
because far too low. PLEASE tell the word that we can show nearly as
many colors as there are pixels on the screen, and we have more of those
than 256 K in SuperHires and/or Laced modes!

The A4000 uses the latest Buster chip, 13I, which also claims to be rev B of
the Level II implementation.  In theory, it supports all of the Level II

to test every feature yet in every possible usage, but we aren't expecting
any problems.
