regarding p96

Picasso96 is in basic terms a layer which handles
device drivers to graphics cards. You can in theorywrite
to the P96 interface ( to say draw a line ) and the driver
will translate that into the calls on the graphics cards.

There is no AGA or ECS driver that I am aware of but even if there
was it would probably be slower than the current method ofaccessthat
Workbench uses for its display handling.

So "only for gfx cards" is the right answer ( that includes Amiga GFX cards )

Yep 800x600 is possible with DBLNTSC monitor
added into your Monitor drawer and connected to
a VGA monitor.  Thats interlaced at a 30Hz refresh rate.

I wouldn't try DBLPAL interlaced though, thats 25Hz refresh rate which is far too low for the human eye
on computer style images ( but is OK for movie images and graphical stills ).

But the later cost in life of stronger eyeglasses probably isnt worth it and would pay for a busboard and a GFX card...
