I see that on the Amiga Board a while back there was discussion of finding the original developer of the Petsoff Dblscan 4000 and seeing if he could get plans together for a small run of that card.
Amiga Board Thread - related to Petsoff Dblscan 4000 (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=25144)
It doesn't look like it went anywhere. Does anyone here have contact with the developer of the board to ask if it would be possible to do another run of the card if enough pre-orders can be had?
Thanks all.

I just wonder how many A4000 users are left that would love to buy a video slot Scan Doubler/Flicker fixer that was 24-bit AGA compatible. With the number of discussions online, I can't believe that I'm the only one.
-
I may be interested in one of these.

I would like to buy one, or two.

I just bought a Picasso IV instead.
They come up on ebay and forum's all the time.
At about £150 ($295) it was a tad pricey compared to a scandoubler, but it is an RTG card and an AutoMon in one.

yeah, I grabbed another PIV as a sd/ff too...
-
I would consider a video slot scandoubler depending on the price.

Yes, a 24bit scandoulber for video slot would be nice. I only have that cv64/3d scandoubler addon.

I guess I didn't know that the Picasso Iv would promote all old ECS/AGA 15Khz modes to 31Khz. If it indeed works both as a VGA card and FF/SD, I'll keep an eye out for one for sale.
However, I wonder the proce different on a newly made scan doubler/ff only.

I'll buy at least 1 or 2 easily

Internal scandoubler sounds good.. they are very rare to come by. Im sure a production run would sell quite well.. Im even sure that if i reputable company like amigakit were to take pre-orders with a small deposit to goto manufacturing costs there would be a decent queue forming.
that in turn would release a few more unused scandoublers onto the marketplace for non zorro users.

If you were going to make a new scandoubler, it would have to be a clip-on variant so that it would be A1200 and A4000 compatible for it to be economically viable.

Not sure if Petsoff still exists, however it is still found by Finnish enterprises database over here:

Last time I heard/read about Teemu Suikki who designed Dblscan 4000 and Delfina soundcards was in 2003 interview of MorphOS developers (Teemu and Harry "Piru" Sintonen) in SAKU (magazine of Finnish Amiga Users): http://saku.amigafin.org/lehti/online/43/muut/haastattelu.html
Most recent contact information should be found from here: http://www.z-power.fi/yhteys.php
Didn't Schoenfeld/Individual Computers do new versions of Delfinas? Maybe we will get new Dblscan 4000s from there sometime in the future?
EDIT: doh, most of what I wrote here was already written at that eab-thread. However, most recent email address might be that z-power one.
