Scandoubler recommendations

[Brian]

The do get fairly hot (the glue from a gluegun that holds the cables in place on my got soft), but I also have a 2Gb 2.5" IBM drive right on top of that so heat from that is added aswell. Never had any problems with the heat though and I do recommend them.

The external ones get even hotter and needs mods for airflow to keep them happy.

AMIVGA apart from being crapp also is only for ECS not AGA so it won't work with your A1200.

Ehm.. hard to install an internal scandoubler? You must be kidding me right? I meen.. it's snapp on 2 sockets over chips on the mother board and you're done basicly. Sure mounting the VGA port nicely on the Amiga can be tricky but apart from that it's a piece of cake.

About the price... it's steap if you buy it new but you can probably find one second hand for like 40$ or less.

Correct... the harddrive relocation could be a hassel. I thought of that but ended up creating my own HD cradle instead with longer legs so the scandoubler would fit underneath (about 15mins of aluminium cutting and sawing), though this will probably only work with a bit slimmer than original Amiga 2.5" disks as it get lifted up closer to the keyboard.
