Difference between Scanmagic - FLickermagic ?

[musashi]

Hi all,

Not really a hardware problem, but it's hardware related.
Could anyone tell me what's the difference between a internal dce scanmagic and the internal dce flickermagic? I bought a scanmagic and noticed a little bit later there was also the flickermagic. Tried to google but to no avail. Amiga hardware databse and the Big book also didn't list the (hardware) differences between the two.

Hope someone can clarify this.

Thanks,

az

I took a look at the pictures on amiga hardware database and the big book and couldn't find any differences. But why would they give the same thing different names? On amiga hardware database they list some extra functions for the flickermagic, so that makes me think there must be indeed some differences.But maybe I'm wrong and they really are the same.

Regards,

The price difference suggests there is a difference. I guess I'll have to try an interlaced mode to find out it I've got a scanmagic or a flicckermagic. But somehow this difference should also be visible from the outside, like the rom-chips you mentioned.

The price of scandoublers hasn't really dropped in the last few years. Just saw an external one being sold on ebay for 105E and that's a lot more than 149 DM.
