Indivision AGA for A4000 Tower?

[arnljot]

Surely an A4000T doesn't have to connect to the Lisa chip does it?

It could be a video slot card with a zorro interface no? All the signals should be there, no?

Doesn´t the Indivision "replace" the Lisa chip?

[X-ray]

For me the standard clip-on-Lisa approach is better because I simply don't have any Zorro slots free!

Is this project still happening?  I'm currently trying to unravel the mysteries of RTG and Scan Doubler options for 4000Ts and I'd love nothing more than to have an Indivision board instead.    Researching and buying old Amiga hardware is an interesting hobby to have. :-)

There was a recent listing of a PicassoIV for sale here on the forums.  That is the best solution for an A4000T, but the IndivisionAGA is a nice solution for a Video Toaster/Flyer machine as the Toaster's interface is not RTG, IIRC.  Parts of the LightWave interface can be promoted I think, but most of the rest of the NewTek interfaces are limited to standard display resolutions.

Hi Jens,

I would buy one, too.

(And another one for an A1200 when available again).

[Jonas]

wuld buy one to guess there is alot of ppl in sweden that want to buy one to . that dont hang around here ..

[desantii]

resurecting an old thread, I would buy one!

[Akiko]

Any more news on this?

Hey Jens

I'm about to get an a4000T again so I'm very interested in this product as well. You know that if you make them you will sell them. Hasnt every production run of Amiga hw you have ever done sold out?

:-D

I don't think Jens posts on Amiga.org anymore. He left last year in December.
Might be best to try to find him at EAB or AW.

I am eagerly awaiting the offering of a 4000T version of the Indivision AGA as well.  My 4000T (one of the original 200) is still in good working order, but desperately needs a display upgrade.  It is painful to use a 1960 monitor nowdays.  It is however a testament that the machine is quite capable still as a plain 040; it has been, what, 15 years since Commodore first released it?

Indivision AGA sits on top of the Lisa chip, so a "riser" would have to have an empty PLCC84 chip to make connection with the flickerfixer. In addition to such a non-existent part (at least not to my knowledge), signal length would harm signal quality. I would have done that long ago, especially with so many A4000D/CD32 versions in stock, that you're hopefully buying this xmas season :-)

Is it true there will be an Indivision AGA (A1200) MKII ? If so any word on the improvements. I want to buy one...

[RMK305]

Yes, see this thread:

[José Manuel]

No more news about production of this hardware?

@AlicePPC
If you check the thread that RMK305 linked you can see the following:

The prototype I'm currently working on is for A1200 and A4000T.

Since the target is to be out with the thing by october, the probability is *very* high. I have finished the register-communication on the new prototype in a way that I can update timing parameters of the CPLD with some FPGA signals. This way, I'll be able to adapt timing to weird accelerator cards with a simple flash upgrade.

I hope I can make the same thing for the pixel timing; some of you may know that the old Indivision AGA had trouble with Lisa chips by NCR, but works fine with HP and most Commodore Lisa chips. I'll know later this week.

i would buy one for sure.
count me in
