I've ordered one.  At a production rate of 3 a month it might be a while before I see it though.  :)

Yes it is an absolute.

The unit is based on the reference design for the Averlogic scandoubler chipset found in a lot of low cost LCDTV's. The AL250A and the AL875 which is not a 24-bit system.

This has been discussed time and time again.

With AGA games you will get some colour/detail loss.

Plus it is an external scandoubler which means there is Digtal->Analog->Digital->Analog conversion which never offers the top quality!

The prototypes had unsheilded ribbon cables which made things even worse.

But as has been said for $65 you cant complain ;-)


So you're saying that it won't display 24 bit colour?   :crazy:
