If you need a super denise and can't find one... you can use the Indivision ECS.

With a Indivision ECS you can use the super denise modes even with a normal denise WHEN using the VGA output of the Indivision ECS.  

I use it on my A500 and show super denise modes with it.  The normal Amiga RGB output looks wrong but the VGA output works and works better!  I can use nice VGA monitors/lcd and get rid of the 1084!

I would suggest it to anyone!

Well in Workbench 1024x768 even in 4 colors can be very nice with Indivision ECS/ECS modes...

Although possible without Indivision ECS, getting something to display it would be a pain.

Also a new 800x600 16 color mode is in the works.  Does not use superhires modes from ECS.  Again, would not be very useable without Indivision ECS even though it does not require it I believe.
