A4000 to VGA - Confused!!! HELP!!!

[Tension]

Is there any way I can connect my trusty A4k to a normal VGA flatscreen monitor? A few years back I was told it can be done by simply creating an adaptor.  However, I have since heard that some resistors should be used in the process, or the A4k might mistake the monitor for a Genlock.  I could make it easy enough, but don`t have access to the appropriate resistors.  Can it be done without them?? Has anyone got a schematic handy?

My loyal 21 year old 1084S is still going strong, but in my whole life, I have NEVER seen an Amiga with a really good hi-res screen (I`ve been using Amigas since 1991), and I really want to see what it can do. What screenmodes can I use, Will I get flicker? Will it lag?  I can`t even seem to source a GFX card, I`m pulling my hair out... HELP!!

Can anyone help at all??

PS. Anyone know where I can get a Picasso IV, II, II+, or even a CV64 or CV643D from? I would like to hear, could you PM me please.

Thanks again folks,
Karl

I was always under the impression that a Picasso IV was the best ever Zorro based GFX card.  I don`t like the thought of getting a Mediator - I had a really nasty experience with an A1200 an a Z-IV daughterboard some years ago.  IMO Zorro does quite enough for me.  I mean that whole PCI thing just sounds like a real HACK to me (or maybe a KLUDGE i suppose), but it just doesn`t seem right.  I mean, does it really just work fine, no random crashes or strange buggy things??

Would any of you agree with me, or am I wrong here??

I use the CD32 for the gaming side of things (i.e. Cannon Fodder!!), so that`s not a problem.  I mostly use the A4k for OctaMED Soundstudio, with a MIDI setup including a A3000XL Sampler, MPC, Keyboard and a Mac which controls the S3000XL through SCSI. I also use an old A2000 for some 8-bit noises. OctaMED sequences everything, but will it run ok with a GFX card?

BTW, How much can you get a Mediator for these days??  I have a A4000D in a Mikronik Tower.  Which type of Mediator PCI daughterboard should I use?? Does it work out cheaper than a Picasso IV for instance?

Thanks again.
