I can answer yes to both for sure.  The supplied cable connects right to the 25
pin SCSI port, all you need if you have a later version of AmigaDos or an addon
CDROM FS is to set up a device, CD0:, in devs for it.  And set the termination on
and youre set.

All SVGA monitors will support 31.5KHz which is the higher output of the 3000.
They will NOT support the 15KHz, so make sure you are on the VGA connector and
that little toggle switch set on the back of your unit.  There is one other
caveat.  If you are using the PAL mode, some SVGA monitors may not like the 50HZ
refresh.  The 60HZ NTSC will not cause problems.
