Unless you have a VGA monitor capable of syncing down to 15 Khz (or doubling it somehow), these adapters are only useful for Workbench, because most games use 15 Khz display modes.

I don't think those adapters work with an A600. Only AGA chipset is able to create VGA output.

Full ECS Amigas (A500+, A600, A3000) can also output 31kHz doubled modes without a scandoubler. You need the super Denise for this..

Not that they're any fun to use on an ECS machine though. :-D
