DCE Scandoubler
« on: September 07, 2006, 12:58:23 PM »
I'm sure this has been covered many times before, but....

Just how good is the DCE Scandoubler?  Will it allow all screen modes to be displayed by your average TFT?  Does it require any additional cooling?

Also, on a slightly different note, does the 23-pin to 15-pin VGA adapter (as sold by Amikit) contain a chip to invert the RGB signals?

TIA

@ Doppie1200

Thanks for the info - nice work on the DCE mod!

@Alexatkin

Oops - yes I did mean Amigakit - sorry Amigakit!

Ah - just wires.  Looks like I'm going to have to make an adapter with signal inverter then - simple enough, but hampered by the lack of 23-pin D sockets.  I'll see whether I can bodge a 25-pin jobby to fit.  The banding issue on the TFT is an interesting one.

The DCE scandoubler is pricey and as much as I love my Amiga, I too can't justify spending that much for what is now a hobby.  If it wasn't for the lack of space in my computer room, I'd hook up my perfectly good 1084S.  In the time being I'll just have to put up with using the composite output connected to my pc's DVT card to view on my TFT instead.
