If I buy the firebird v4 will then ALL signal outputs both from workbench etc and games be via DIGITAL-VIDEO ? And if so will sound also be via DIGITAL-VIDEO or thr native cinch ? Or can I choose where sound goes out even?

Hello Lance, Regarding your question about Video OUT: The FIREBIRD comes with a little red or yellow jumper. Two modes are possible: (1) Mode CRT (Jumper = open) your Amiga will run games on its Amiga video out. This is ideal for running game on your old CRT Amiga 1084 monitor - and you will have high resolution workbench with 16bit audio over DIGITAL-VIDEO. Over DIGITAL-VIDEO also the Amiga games are shown and playable. (2) Mode SuperAGA (Jumper = closed) This enables full Super AGA. In this mode you have more Chipmemory 6MB, and enhanced Chipmemory speed = over 50 times faster. This mode allows you to benefit from higher quality Audio and better Video than Amiga could before - but in this mode the CRT display is disabled - as the CRT output can not show AGA games. Running in Super-AGA will allow you to play AGA games on DIGITAL-VIDEO screen, will increase your Chip memory will enable you to play 16bit and thereby removes previous limitation on music and graphic. In both modes you can play Amiga games on DIGITAL-VIDEO. In Super-AGA mode you can play A1200/AGA games. I hope I could answer your question?
