earlier chipsets for which the HAM-E was designed to work with work fine
on multisyncs _without_ using the adaptor, but neither the HAM-E nor AGA
work very well w/o the adaptor; However _Commodore_ took care to supply an
adaptor with the A4000.
It would seem that besides scan rates, Amiga video actually is
non-standard RGB. That argument that it is the users responsibility to
know of an adaptor when the only way of knowing was to purchase a
Commodore VGA monitor just doesn't hold up, especially when considering
that I was talking to an Amiga video display vendor which knew explicitly
that I was using a Sony (having told them we were going from a 1084 to a
Sony.. how could they assume we knew of such a connector??). Further, one
should never assume anything and fail to mention an adapter when
discussing the cable connections! To do such a thing is simply
unprofessional and reeks of carelessness.
