Title: FS: (2) Microway AGA flicker fixers for A2000
Post by: tone007 on July 05, 2010, 02:52:03 AM

NTSC models, and you'll need to find/make a 9pin to 15pin adapter, I no longer have any.

http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/aga2000

$40 each including shipping in the US, $10 additional for international shipping.

Clearing out some spare stuff in the garage, these were removed from working A2000s a few months ago but I no longer have an A2000 to test with.

Any idea what "partial" ECS compatibility means?  Does that mean its output is a little fuzzy with ECS??  How good is it with OCS (if you recall)?

I don't recall any fuzzy output, with a CRT the picture was always reasonably good.  Can't recall if I tried one on an LCD, but I'd expect similar performance to the other original internal scandoublers.

However, it has been quite a while since I used one of these for more than just a quick test.  No idea what partial ECS compatibility means.

"Flicker Fixer which allows the addition of a VGA type monitor to display the Amiga's native video. As the name might suggest "AGA" this card is not designed for use in AGA systems such as the A4000. Whilst it can be used in an A4000 it will only promote screens with a colour depth of 12bit or less, be warned. The card actually has an EGA style DB9 connector for use with older monitors, so to connect a standard VGA/SVGA monitor to it you'll require an adaptor. The term AGA for the card was obviously coined before the AGA chipset came into existence. The Export label appears to be a serial number as each version of this card has it's own export number. It is not clear exactly what the difference is between the E version of the card, and the non-E version but it has been suggested that "E" might mean European, ie for PAL Amigas. It may also be some sort of revision. An optional adaptor was also available to allows the Flicker Fixer to be used, simultaneously with an external NTSC genlock. "

I imagine it will work with ECS but only at OCS resolutions.
So it probably doesn't like Super Hires or Productivity modes.
