REQ: Someone Mass-Produce Scandoubler/Flicker Fixers

[alexh]

Myself and Jens Schoenfeld of Individual computers are trying to bring back the Indivision external scandoubler / flicker fixer which used to retail at 99 euros.

The problem is trying to get hold of 250 pairs of chips that make up 1/2 of the device, they are both no longer manufactured, so I am trying to contact some people in china.

I will try my best to help Jens bring this part back to you.

We just have to wait to see if any of the people who CLAIM they have stock of the DAC and ADC chips originally used on the indivision actually have any.

No, I doubt Jens would design another using readily available chips, he's got too many of the PCB's, plastic cases and other chips.

No, I dont know how long after Jens gets the chips he will manufacture them.

No, I dont know how many he intends to make, but I volunteered to help him source the chips and he's asked me to try to source 250 pairs of chips.

Jens has been trying on and off to source these chips for 2 years without success. Lets see if anything happens.

Would the final product that Jens makes be 24 bit or would it be 16 bit?

It's 18-bit, and when you consider that the colour resolution of AGA (it's palette) is 18-bit (262144), there aint much point doing any more is there

There is no point contacting Jens, if I cannot source the chips at the right price point, nothing will get made. I am calling in a load of favours but its slow going.

Jens Schoenfeld of Individual Computers has found the parts he needs to remake the Indivision. It's being sold through softhut (because of the new EU laws proventing German OEM's selling to EU countries) under the toastscan brand.

In the end I had nothing to do with it, except perhaps the inspiration.
