- Well first of all the 1960 does suck. And as long as you have your
- workbech set to a high scan rate you shouldn't have a problem with everything
- that boots from the hard drive. There isn't yet a pd hack for promoting
- screens to dblntsc and dblpal for disk booting games, like degrader.
- Although I would like to see one. And you have to always stay in os3.0
- if you want to drop down kickstarts to run old games, you will be
- completely out of luck.
-
- Yet there is one other option, wait for the cheap quad synchs to come out.
- Yet noone knows about the quality of the display yet on those. Just it'll
- be cheap.
