I said in a previous post that I was going to try the hefty hacking to get the Scan Magic I got from Eyetech (Last one they had) on thursday if no one wanted to trade for an A4000T compliant SD/FF.
Since there was only one response (TANKZ anyway doctorq), I thought I'd make a new post JUST to be on the safe side and extend the time to Friday. SO! If I get no replies by Sat. morning, I'm going to have to snip some jumpers in the A4000T and dremmel away a whole side of the the Scan Magic. :-o
Remember, this is BRAND NEW!!!!

I'll buy it from you if you decide not to hack it up.

Hey VIC,
Yeah I know you've been trying as hard as I have to get one. But now that I have one I can't let it go unless I get something thar is just as good... Money is nothing at this point I'm sorry to say...

no prob, I expected that answer :)

Well, whatcha lookin for?

I have an Impact Vision 24 that has a built-in SD/FF. Unfortunately it's only a 12-bit scandoubler and it doesn't handle all screenmodes (doesn't handle VGAOnly at all, even with the scandoubler switch set to the off position which theoretically should just pass through the signal to the HD-15 connector). Not sure if it's of any interest to you.
I'm kind of loathe to part with it since I was hoping to take some RGB screengrabs from some game consoles with it, but I don't have the RGB input module so it seems unlikely I'll ever use it for that so I might be willing to trade.

Thanks for asking.!
I'm looking to trade for anything that will:
- Scan Double and Flicker Fix AGA and VGA screen modes
- Will work in a A4000T with out MUCH modification
Again up for trade is a BRAND NEW DCE Scan Magic Internal FF/SD.

I'm not sure I understand why you need to "hack" this scandoubler to get it to work.

It physically doesn't fit into the space where the Alice and Lisa are located.
1) the main board of the FF over-laps the Floppy controller riser board
2) opposite of that there is a three pronged jumper to set NTSC and PAL for the A400T
So, I need to shave off the overlapping part of the FF and snip the jumper flush w/ the MoBo (solder the connection) to get it to MAYBE fit. No Garuntees that it'll fit after that either as I have no fine measuring tools...
