Question about Mediator bus board
« on: February 23, 2005, 08:49:51 AM »
Hello all!

After being out the scene for a few years I decided to set up my miggy again. I didnt fancy having 2 monitors on my desktop so I've got it to work on my pc one by going through a kvm switch and an rgb to xga convertor. It works but the picture quality is..... a bit pants to be honest!

Being as scan doublers aren't readily available, I was thinking about getting a mediator sx bus board and gfx card. The question is will I still be able to use non-os compliant software (i.e. games!) through the card or will I have to keep swapping to my current solution.

my current setup:-
a1200 rev 2b
workbench 3.5
apollo 040/40 32mb
eyetech ez tower,soon to be mirage tower :)
power flyer gold (i think!)
52x cd rom
4gb h.disk

thanks for any help given!

I have used winuae and have been generally impressed BUT I'd rather not use the pc. Not for any particular reason mind you, I'd just rather use the genuine article, I think you know what I mean!?

I had a result tonight! I thought of a different configuration I could try. I connected my miggy rgb scart lead to a scart to s-video converter which then went to my pc 9800 all in wonder card. Initially I had the same problem as all the other configurations I've tried i.e screen rolling, breaking up etc After about 10 minutes all of a sudden it started working! god knows why as I'd already tried all the standards available. It reminds me of the old 'tube' tellys that needed to warm up first!
anyway, it works albeit through the pc.

now where did I put Carrier Command...... :)
