Drivers for Indivision MK2 1200

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

(1) Indivision isn't a 24-bit card

(2) If by "drivers" you mean the screenmodes, I know of several off-hand:

• "SuperPlus" - 800x600
• "HD720" - 1280x720 (looks pretty nice on widescreen monitors)
• "HighGFX" - 1024x768.  It uses a funky refresh rate which your monitor may or may not support

I got all of these with 3.9 and the latest Boing Bags.  If they don't install by default look in Storage.  AFAIK you can also download them from Aminet or various other sources.

There's a bunch of links in this thread: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=64505  or on google.  That thread also mentions "Ratte's Xtreme mode", 1280x1024.  I'm familiar with the name but haven't tried the mode.  Huh.  Might be worth checking out. :idea:

With AGA you should be able to display all of these modes in up to 256 colors (ECS limits them to 16 colors for SuperPlus and 4 colors for the others).  Obviously performance will vary depending on your processor and they'll probably eat up a lot of chip memory if you use the high res ones, depending on how your system is configured.

Edit:  Post a link to the video you're talking about and maybe somebody can help you with the specifics.  ;)

Mike et all, thanks for the advise, I figured out, too late, that AGA meant AGA...
So my question is why would anybody spend good money to buy a graphics card
that doesn't support True color?  I think I made a mistake here... Any computer or
tablet you buy today of course displays True color.  I have a 1950 monitor that will
display every mode that my amiga can display.  I want a True color solution.  Think
I will be putting this MK2 up for sale, it causes my A1200 to run hot and makes the
display shaky...

Gah.  Indivision is great for what it is.  I think you need to consider what it is you're trying to do.  If all you care about is a "True color", i.e., full 24-bit display, 16.8 million colors, go out and buy yourself a big box Amiga with a graphics card ($$$) or a PC.  Indivision does allow you to make use of higher resolutions, but doesn't add any screenmodes that support more colors (except for the Indi ECS, which adds a "Graffiti" mode, for the few games that support it.)

Indivision isn't going to magically make your games have more colors, if that's what you were thinking it was going to do.  It allows you to easily connect modern monitors.  And for that, they're fantastic.  

When you say "I want a true color display / graphics card", what is it you're hoping to accomplish with that?

And yes, like the other poster said.  Many people use them successfully in desktop cases.  Clean your contacts, switch to a CF, maybe even add a small fan.

So again, could someone explain to me what a cooling chip is or how and  what size of a fan I need and how to install it?

Whoever said "cooling chip" probably meant "heatsink".  I don't own one but these pictures I googled up make it look pretty easy.  Measure the holes on the board, at a guess I would say something in the range of 40mm?

Good information, What I'm getting is more like double image lines and tearing at the top and bottom (Lines appearing).  Not sure I could get a screen grab of it.  Where do I connect the fan power line? Mounting wouldn't be an issue, but getting the power right would.
Thanks all.

Is the tearing happening as soon as your power up?  Or does it become worse as the device warms up?  For power I think most folks just tap into the floppy line, that's what I did for a cooling fan inside my A500.  12V or 5V are both available there, depending on what type of fan you get and whether you want it to spin fast or slow.
