Its likely running 640x400 video, which is interlaced on the Amiga. For years the Amiga and Atari ST managed to be better Macs than the real thing simply because they could display higher resolution video out of the box.
Yep, correct. I borrowed a soldering iron last night and repaired my RGB cable, so at least I'm getting accurate colors (previously everything was either greyscale or various eye-searing shades of purple). The A-Max software has some options for switching display modes which I'll play around with tonight or this weekend - something's gotta reduce the flicker a bit, as it's hard to imagine anyone using this setup for real work without going into periodic seizures from the flicker.
