Some of those external boxes do not support the 24-bit AGA modes. I don't have any experience with the one from Australia, but the price sure is attractive. The one on eBay right now for $100 though (white box with screw adjustment), I used to have on my A1200. I didn't care for it at all. Too much, what looked to be, RF interference, vertical lines running through the screen AND that fringe distortion on the left had side of the screen seems to be "normal" with those particular FF/SD's.

Indivision is about the best modern solution I've seen yet. From what I've used, only the Phase 5 video card combo boards best that one, but you're going to pay more getting one of those into your system than Jens' product! :lol:

I wasn't referring to your solution at all Gulliver - just pointing out that one must be careful when choosing external FF/SD options for an A1200  :)

Your not just getting out on a tangent, you are posting complete nonsense ...

There is absolutly NO flickerfixer or scandoubler that allows a VGA-signal to be feeded in.

Perhaps he was thinking about the P2 accepting a VGA signal and passing it through as the benefit would be a single monitor solution? In a goofy, not paying too much attention to the wording (something you learn to do on the 'Net: reading for content, not accuracy) round-a-bout way, that's how I took it anyway.  :lol:

Do what exactly?

Someone was talking about the ECS version of Indivision being able to perform double-duty as a dedicated "video card" (using P96 or some kind of driver) and a FF/SD. I've never heard of that and would kinda be surprised if that capability is built into it somehow. BUT...

Only thing I know of that the ECS version can do over the AGA is be piggybacked with another ECS Indivision (one on top of the other) for the benefit of having an extended Workbench, dual monitor type setup.

Cool! I've heard of this device. Now... with that many colors possible from the ECS architecture - what programs or games would be designed to take advantage of it? I always thought it enhanced the video output, not replaced it.

Is this a stepping stone to having AGA emulation on ECS machines finally? And how come this Graffiti business wasn't spoken about near the time and shortly after its release?
