To ALL, Could someone please advise me on which is the best Monitor available for my A4000/EC 030 ? I am currently using a Philips CM 8802 which worked fine with my AMIGA 500. I have noticed that there is a lot of monitors avilable for PC's, some of which look pretty tempting but I am afraid I would have compatibility problems if I purchased one. Thanks Richard

If you get a new one and want to sell your old one please give me a price to see if I can purchase it from you. I've been Amigaless far too long and I can't stand these blasted beeps from my IBM.

Dear Bob. Thanks for the offer I will keep it in mind and get back to you if I get a new monitor. Richard

Richard, If you are in the U.S. or Canada, you can purchase the CEI 1962A from Creative Equipment International. It is a 14" .28 dot-pitch, multi-sync monitor that can scan from 15 KHz to 36 KHz. Price is around $500.00 U.S. For more information, call CEI at (800) 858-3153 Regards, John Chang Technical Support Manager Scala, Inc.

Dear John, Thank you for your information. I live in Cornwall England and the choice of Monitors here seeems to be limited to just one make " Microvitec" which has had good reviews but I will keep an eye open for the CEI 1962A. Also do you happen to know if I can use a 3.5" IDE Hard Drive as advertised in PC mags for my Amiga 4000/EC 030 as these seem to be a lot cheaper than the ones advetised in AMIGA mags. Thank You for your Help Regards Richard

RP >>do you happen to know if I can use a 3.5" IDE Hard Drive as advertised in PC mags for my Amiga 4000/EC 030 << I *believe* most 3.5" IDE drives will work without problem, BUT make sure you set the MAXTRANSFER rate to 128K (0x1fe00) for each partition using the HDToolBox.

Dear Ronald, Thank you for your reply. Good news that most PC 3.5" IDE Hard Drives will work with my 4000. Should save me some pounds. Again thanks. Regards Richard
