Is he the fellow in Australia making the Amiga RGB to S-Video adapters?


Ya, I do believe he's an Aussie.

I payed a pretty penny for my DCTV RGB adapter, though I'm sure there will be more on Ebay and for cheaper sooner or later.

Magnetic: That's the guy, him and I have been talking quite a bit since I've started to buy...

...well EVERYTHING he's got. :)

DCTV program displays fine... Until I go into paint mode, then the screen scrambles.  Might my internal flicker fixer be causing problems?

Also screen gets totally warped on my 1084s when the SuperGen is plugged in. The VGA that my inernal flicker fixer plugs into begins to show random lines of garbage on the screen.

My A600 is PAL, everything else is NTSC.

Should I only be using the SuperGen and DCTV in genlockable screenodes?

I just removed the internal flicker fixer just to see if it was that that was causing me drama...

It's not. With or without it, if I load up DCTV and click on the corner tab to switch back to my Work Bench screen, the Amiga will lock up. If I load up It's paint app, I am fine, I can click on the buttons below, but if I click in the drawing area, or try to switch to my Work Bench screen, the Amiga locks up once again.

Likewise, If I boot up with my SuperGen plugged in, the screen rolls kind of like displaying a PAL signl on an NTSC television.

I'm really starting to think I need to purchase an NTSC A600.

My 1200 is PAL too, but I'm going to set it up and run the same tests on it.

Naghh, I think I'll hold onto that RGB Converter and buy a NTSC 600 instead. You wouldn't want to pay what I paid for it anyhow. :)


Oh, and to make the DCTV work, are you saying I just need to be in a NTSC screen mode?

Alright, I loaded up a NTSC Monitor. Same exact results.

I loaded the DCTV floppy image into RAD:. Booted from that (as suggested in the manual), same results. Booted holding mouse buttons down, selected NTSC, same results.

Must find a NTSC 600 for sale...

I'm not going to help you with any more video stuff until you get rid of that avatar! It makes me feel weird man! :)


Consider your self lucky. She's supposed to be jumping up and down, but Amiga.org seems to have screwed up the GIF somehow.

I think the problem lies in your choice of machines.  The A600 has a newer video chipset and, I think, is the culprit.

I was a co-author of the DCTV manual.  When we worked on DCTV, in 1990, the Amiga range stopped at the A3000.  Since DCTV bangs the hardware quite a bit, I'm thinking you really need to be using an A2000 or A3000 with it.  Also, the same problem might be occurring with your SuperGen....again, older video chips were used when this was designed.

Hope this helps!



Crap! Can anyone confirm this?

I see 600's on EBay every now and then. If I have to play more than they are worth, then so be it. I love them!! :)

Or if I get a deal on a 2 or 3 thousand...

They I cringe at the bulk...

As for my avatar...


It was in no way my intent to display child pornography, it's disturbing for some unknown reason yes, but kiddy porn?!?

Anyhow, I honestly only brought it back by popular request. In fact some requests came from users who used to hate it. That being said, give me time, I'll grow tired of it again, but as long as it is disturbing... ;)

Why not get an A500 then, if you are opposed to the bulk of an A2000, or A3000?  There are surely tons of NTSC A500's to be had everywhere in the USA at little to no cost, which will run all of those video add-ons just as well as your A600.

I'll drop the avatar topic, as you seem to have no inclination to remove it.  I find it more than a little disturbing and don't understand your choice to use it here.  As for the reason it is disturbing, that is obvious.  When some old man (assuming you are over 30 and probably over 40) chooses to use such an avatar on a public forum site, it is sure to make some people wonder about the reasons for it's choice and use here.  I also would question the motives of anyone that requested that you bring back this avatar, as personally I find it in very bad taste.  Child abuse and pornography are real problems in our world and I for one do not think they should be taken lightly or made jokes of, even by displaying this "only disturbing" avatar.  I won't comment on it again.


It actually comes from an old potty truing record cover from the 50's or 60's believe it not. Creepy Hugh? :)

I'll change it later when I'm not so restricted by my iPod and am on a PC.

People these days. Sheesh! ;)

Ya... You guys seriously need to stop undressing her with your eyes. It's not my perversion, it's your own. ;)

EDIT: There now I have the Whore Of Babylon from the movie Metropolis. I hope that better suits your tastes.

Sheesh, all worked up over a 50's/60's Era Potty Training Record Cover. I mean really!

I guess Social Engineering works. Over flood the media with sex sex sex, and sooner or later, all the innocence of life has vanished and people can only see through the eyes of a pervert.

This reminds me of a conversation my dad was having with me one day.

Back when I was about 10, we lived in Dallas Texas and he used to come down to the community pool when he could to swim and play with my sister and I. On top of that he'd also play with all the local kids. He's pick us up and throw us, we'd swim back and he'd do it again. It was heaven for him! But he was telling me that if he were to do something like that today, some parent would call in the "authorities" and hall him off to jail for handling children inappropriately...

And on that note, I long for a little house on the prairie, far from this twisted society, and far from the media which they suckle upon like a sick and diseased teat. Sighhh....

Turn off your tell-lie-vision, return to innocence. It's never too late. And on that note, it's never to late for potty time!!!


For those who long to see a return of my awesome avatar, fear not, she shall return, OH YES! She SHALL RETURN! Muwa ha ha ha ha ha!!! Then we shall all know the art of potty time!!!!

Of course I hope you guys understand I'm just being sarcastic. I do love my irony!

Anyhow, possible good news. I am looking into a 2000 and a 500 right now. I'm not sure if I'm going to settle on either one, but I'm getting the details now.

If one of these has 2Mb of GFX RAM, and possibly some extra FAST RAM, then I'm probably going to get it. I'm kind of hoping for the 2000 though as I do have that Toaster and TBC just sitting around begging me to use them.

BTW, can ZorroII cards be adapted to work in that slot in the side of the 500?

Are upgrades such as CPU upgrades for the 500 and 2000 very hard to find or expensive for that matter?
