The stock AMiga modes will work just fine with the RGB capabilities on your UltraScan. You may need a special cable, but they are readily available. The highest resolutions on the Amiga use interlace (which is why they are so easy to hook cheaply into video equipment). On a normal Amiga system, this will cause a flickering screen appearance when output to a monitor with the high definition of most computer monitors. Folks who like to work in that mode all the time often get a gadget called the Flicker Fixer (that's what I have at work driving my NEC 3D). The flicker fixer has it's own monitor outlet, and will drive a multisynch in VGA mode. The Amiga 3000 has a device similar to the flicker fixer built in, and gives you a choice of getting montior output in vga-style mode with no flicker, or in interlace rgb for use with video equipment, just as if you had a flicker fixer on board. So, my set-up at work has a genlock for video work on the rgb port, and an NEC 3D on the flicker fixer port for my computing work, to get to the bottom line. but, the NEC 3D (and your Ultrasynch) could also be driven by the RGB port.
