Question about ScanDoubler and Mediator Video Card
« on: July 13, 2006, 07:06:02 PM »
i'm going to be purchasing a Mediator for my A1200 soon. I'd still like my old games to work with my system. Will I need both a scandoubler and a PCI video card (Scandoubler for the games and PCI videocard for workbench) ? I have a pretty sweet 19" Sony Monitor that was given to me that i'd like to put to use soon.

Ok this is why I am asking these questions. Why would I need a switch? I get that AGA is the the Amiga's built in graphics, RTG is Retargetable Graphics why would I have to switch between the two? Sorry i'm asking these questions, i've never built a towerized amiga before.

Makes perfects sense to me. Thanks for all the replies! Would a Bvision be able to do the switch automagically too?
