Interested in an A2024?
« on: September 21, 2005, 06:49:44 PM »
I'm playing with the thought of giving my A2024  aka Hedley (still in very good condition) a new home.
It's the PAL version (works in both PAL and NTSC modes but due to minute clock differences needs a PAL Amiga) and comes in it's original box. Manual and disks are probably somewhere around, too (not necessary for operation). Geometry is not the very best, but all A2024s had that problem.

For those not familiar with this rare piece of hardware:
- grayscale 15" monitor
- integrated flickerfixer (overscan somewhat limited)
- integrated graphics board (!) w/ 1024x1024 (PAL) / 1024x800 (NTSC), up to 4 grayscales
- runs with any Amiga, does not need any internal modification
- 1+ MB Chip recommended
- wide native support w/ Workbench 2.x upwards, Shapeshifter, ...

Yes, it works for all 15 kHz modes except Super Hires (which it samples as Hires) and double scans/flicker fixes them (in fact it even quad scans as it's a 60 kHz fixed frequency monitor).

What happens to your standard modes? Garbage on the screen or no display at all? Maybe your overscan is just too wide, try without!
