Question #1-
Which A is the best to have 3000 or 4000?
I've got an
A4000, and I have to say it's an excellent machine. If you want AGA support for some games/demos, then get the A4000, else get the A3000 (nice & slim).
#2 -
Will the new OS4.0 work on either of these machines? If so how well?
Runs on both, but you have to get a
PPC accelerator card, in order to do so. Should run with no problems, as if you had a 3.x (just faster, PPC!).
#3 -
Is OS4 worth it for an old fashioned Amigan? Or should I use OS3.9?
Yes it worths, it resolves some problems (that's the reason to have an OS), plus it mantains the well known feeling (if you have already been using amiga, you'll use it easy).
#3 -
What roms are needed to run OS3.9 and OS4?
ROM v3.1, plus the ROM Update files (included with the OS).
#4 -
Will a PC monitor look decent on either of these machines or should I stick with a true Amiga monitor? If I use a PC monitor where could I find these scan converter cards?
Get a nice PC monitor! A3000 scandoubles the PAL/NTSC screens with its inbuilt scandoubler/flickerfixer, A4000 can do this with an internal module (in the Video slot), or externaly.
Both machines can have a DblPAL/DblNTSC monitor setup (31KHz) using the OS Prefs/Screenmode (Storage/Monitors).
A RGB->VGA convertor plug (to directly connect to a PC-VGA monitor) is included (should ;-) ) with these Amigas.
