All of those could work through the expansion connector (or wedged under the
68000 like the mega midget racer boards) except for the scan doubler. That
has to go in the denise socket. Individual makes a board that does that.
It's about $150. Jens does good work. I have the analogous board for my
1200. But I have a 20" studio monitor that works great with the amigas, so
I'll just continue to use that. I'd like to have three of those vga boards
for the 500, 600, and 2000 though.
The other models don't really do it for me.
I had a 500 originally. I worked for a year and a half at minimum wage to
buy it back in 1987. My parents wouldn't help me pay for it because they
thought it was a glorified video game machine. And besides, I already had a
computer (an IBM 5150 with 128k ram, 1 functioning floppy drive, a cheesy
word processor, and that high persistence monochrome monitor). :-/
I really wanted a 2000 though. So I have one now. I've also had a lot of
fun playing with the 1200.
