I got an A4000/040 and it has this weird key place on the front.  The person I bought this from didn't include the key thing and I want to know what this does.  Will not having the key disable functions of my computer?
it\'s too bad she won\'t live, but then again who does?

It has keyboard and a nice mouse.  I'm sure there's something that isn't compatible between it and the A520 and that's why it's not showing up on the screen.  I have a feeling this computer is all good.  I may have to install OS 3.9 or whatever newer Amiga OS I choose on it, but really I'm just really anxious for a monitor.  I don't understand why it's not compatible with the A520 (in thread search A520 to contribute to that if you want :p), but knowing Amiga stuff, I'm guessing there is some reason...:griping:

Monitor coming is Commodore 1960.  This monitor sounds nice but I heard there's some stuff that can go wrong with it too.  Does that ring-shaped magnet you use on old CRTs help at all with small display anomalies on old multisync monitors like this? A teacher at school was showing some various cool stuff like how to discharge a CRT without getting electrocuted and also he showed this magnet.  One of my old monitors has a "degauss" button on it.  Is the circular magnet the same thing?

by the way: thanks for the reassurance about the key.  I was pretty sure it was needless to worry since you can either adjust it with a needle nose pliers or just disconnect it from the mobo.  i just wanted to make sure!
