The A2024 will work with any Amiga, but only in its own "extended" mode (a rock-steady 1008×800) or standard (pre-ECS) resolutions reduced to the A2024's four-shade greyscale. Some software actually lets you configure to an A2024 extended screen; other software of course can be made to run on an extended Workbench screen. The monitor comes with a special Workbench 1.3-based boot disk that will automate the installation of the "extended" modes, which should work with Workbench 2.x and 3.x, but you may not need it. Look in the Screenmode menu and you'll see A2024 as an option. Click on it and (if you have the monitor hooked up) away you'll go. The main drawback of the A2024 is that, such as it is, animations, games and graphics aren't going to fare well on it. You can view IFFs in greyscale but they won't look like much. If you're doing a lot of writing or desktop publishing it is a terrific monitor. You can always have it hooked up in addition to a color monitor and choose which to use for various software.
