Tom, The C= display enhancer (2320 ?) will work in the 4000 (I have one in mine), but it does not support all the AGA resolutions and doesn't pass through all the full AGA color (BTW most 256 color pics seem to come through pretty good). My current setup is as follows. I run a 640 x 400 NSTC interlace workbench with NO mode promotion. I run the output of the 2320 to my 1950. The 2320 does all the scan doubling and I get a rock solid no flicker, no multisync switching display – just like the 3000. And just like the 3000 everthing including self booting games are scan doubled. Now I DON'T get full AGA color through this port but for 80% of what I do (AutoPilot, Final Copy II, PageStream, etc that's fine. For the 20% of the time when I want to view full AGA color I have a 1084s connected to the 4000's regular RGB port, so a glance to the left does it. I also use the 1084s for DCTV work and watching TV. 🙂 Now if I do want to use one of the higher rez AGA screen modes then I need to do some cable swapping. Now the REAL good news. C= will be releasing a special display enhancer designed for the 4000. It WILL support all AGA modes, include a 24bit frame buffer, and a host of other tricks! Denny knows alot about this puppy, but he ain't tell'n! 😉 I've heard a release date of "3rd quarter 93" spoken. But then again we were supposed to have SCSI II by the "end of the year" (that's 92!), so who knows? …AutoPilot Engaged… -Paul-
