The only difference is the final board is a standard green. :-D

Not sure what you've got there, but the mass-produced version of the flickerfixer is blue. Now I'd like to see a picture...

The light was dim and I was in a hurry to get the board installed!!!

Two common mistakes in one installation! Always have enough light when working on a computer, and take your time to read instructions, install the thing and to double-check everything before you put it all back together.

Anybody know if these work with the Video Toaster?

It should work, because it is not dependent on any video sync signals. Indivision AGA is purely synced by the inter-chip communication between Alice and Lisa. Since Alice does all the video syncing on a different level, I see no reason why it should not work with a Toaster.

However, I haven't tested it, as I don't own a Toaster. Would be great if someone reported back that my theory is right ;-)

It appears that the 1200's Indivision is sold out *sigh*.  Now that I'm thinking of getting one...

Indivision AGA 1200 is in stock - if it appears to be sold out, then it's a single reseller who didn't order yet. I have no pending backorders, and I'm pretty sure that my stock won't be sold out too soon.

Not for me. It doesn't correctly fit when you have a Lisa made by HP. If I am correct the HP Lisa is slightly (about 0.5 mm) lower compared to the CBM one, making the connection to the Indivision 1200 unreliable at best.

You are correct about the lower height of the HP Lisa chips, but you are not correct about Indivision AGA 1200 in general not fitting properly. This is only true for the very first production run. Starting from the second production run, the sockets have been modded in order to also hold properly on HP Lisa chips, and it's the third production run in the shops at the moment.

If you have trouble with your Indivision AGA, there's a 2-year warranty on it - this includes your mechanical problems. Please refer to your reseller, he'll handle all warranty issues.

Jens, do you (or anyone else) have a list of timing modes that the A4000 would output via this Scan doubler ? (Pal machine)

I am trying to see how my LCD Monitor would react to it, Since it only likes NTSC from my Minimig.

Under PAL Minimig, it freaks out and complains about the sync.

If it works with NTSC Minimig, it'll work with Indivision AGA in all standard modes. HighGFX goes a little below the magic 60Hz barrier, but since your monitor supports Vesa 800x600 at 56Hz, there's a chance that you can also use the HighGFX modes. The config tool allows tweaking the number of blank lines, so there's no general list of modes that you can generate with Indivision AGA. The list would just be too long :-)

Ah, I should have clarified - I was looking at Amigakit's website and there's not an option to purchase the 1200 one.

That explains it - I just got an order from AmigaKit, so they should be shipping fairly soon now. Other orders went out to Vesalia (Germany) and to GGS-Data (Sweden) this week, so the wait (if any) should be short.

Hmmmm wife would not speak to me for a while.

Now if that's a loss for you, it's easier for the flickerfixer: Lets you connect low-radiation monitors, better for your eyes, lets you see her beauty (without glasses) for so many more years 8-)

Or is she the type that would go for a pink PCB? Maybe I should do more research on the "secondary target group" of my products :-)
