   ->    
   -> wonder if a3000 vga works on this one   
      
   I have not tried it on a A-3000 VGA. Have not had a A-3000 for several    
   years -(   
   First I'm using the commodore 23pin to 15pin VGA adapter from my A-500, A-   
   1200 etc to hook up to the AV-1 RGB CGA converter. Then the output of the    
   AV-1 goes to the VGA input of my HD TV or a VGA monitor. Just not sure of    
   you could use it from the VGA output plug on the A-3000. Sure would be nice    
   to know. I'm not using any other graphic card at all on my systems. It seems    
   to work in all modes.     
   ->    
   ->  LB> What a blast for gaming. The other AV-1 is hooked up to a 19" wide    
   ->  LB> screen monitor. My the way the 37" TV has a VGA input.   
   ->    
   -> hdmi is crap sometimes atleast here :) (may be my nvidia graphic card)   
      
   Maybe it is the nvidia card.   
   ->    
   ->  LB> The poor little A-4000 is hooked up to a 1084. and has OS 3.9 DVD

   ->    
   -> oh and envoy ?   
      
   What can I say.   
   ->    
   ->  LB> 3 A-2000's in storage for now. I think only one of them work.   
   ->  LB> Several external floppys.   
   ->    
   -> i had miami/miamidx/envoy running over one ethernet cable, my miamidx    
   was   
   -> router from ethernet to arcnet :=)   
   ->    
   -> from my a4000 i could use a floppy drive hooked on a500 on arcnet, call it   
   -> networking :)   
   ->    
   -> if i run with a x1541 cable on the a500 it even works to transfer from    
   a4000 to   
   -> 1541 floppys over envoy, but bill gates newer sav that :)   
      
   What I'm doing for CBM transfers is using a uIEC on my Commie C-64 to    
   transfer files to the PC via a Compack Flash Card. I use Drive unit 8 or what    
   ever and the iUEC is unit 10 move the files over then plug the CF into my PC    
   and bingo there moved over.    
   ->    
   ->  LB> As I think 3 more 1084's in my storage shad.
