New Scandoubler/Flicker Fixer?

[Hodgkinson]

Id be intrested in obtaining / building a SD/FF for my A1200, but the main problem that I have is that I would like to avoid cutting too many holes in the top half of the RF shield in order to be able to fit such an upgrade (Being a Radio Ham I'd like to be able to use the A1200 with the RF shield in place...)

Btw, i've seen IC's used in SD/FF's from time to time on Amigakit. Maybe they might be useful in constructing new SD/FF's?

£20 to £30 sounds reasonable to me, too.
RF-Shield friendly would be a real bonus (And possible necessity)...

Looks like it might work...Just the price is a bit steep at £69.40. And its a bit larger than the average A1200 SD/FF.

Nice find though.

Amigakit...
MACH210A-12JC for EZ-VGA Amiga Scandoubler
£11.75
product code: EZMACH210

Im not sure wether Amigakit would be the best place to obtain IC's from if anyone were to go into full-scale production using this part (No offence, but products do seem to dissappear and reappear from time to time), but it would probably be OK for people to buy it by themselves in order to construct a kit using it, perhaps.

Just a thought.

This site seems to have the same thing at $90

Just to clarify...
I’m already using DblPAL with VGAOnly on my A1200, on an old colour 15" Dell monitor that happens to work rock-solid with the odd refresh rates (Have had other old monitors that simply don’t work, and others that *occasionally* work with these unusual scan rates).

I've heard a lot about running in dblPAL modes using up precious system processing power, hence the interest in a SD/FF.

Ah ha. Thanks for the info.

Hmmm...slow refresh? Im having to run in 4 colurs for the workbench in order to speed up *drawer window* drawering, etc, at the moment. Perhaps this slowness is due to what you said?

Apart from games, fortunatly all my main *propper* utils on the A1200 seem to work OK with the DblPAL screenmode.
Untill I do get hold of a SD/FF, anything that doesn't work under DblPAL is simply displayed on a TV hooked to the A1200 as a backup.
