Short answer: No.

Slightly longer answer: Yes, if you buy an external scandoubler, which is very expensive and almost impossible to find.  Skräckscenariot: One went for US $910 on eBay about a year ago.

Your cheapest and best solution is to use an LCD TV with RGB Scart cable (see Amigakit, Vesalia).  You'll get an almost perfect picture with that setup.  It's what I have on my A600, which I use the most frequently.

Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!

Surely the zero shouldn't be there?


Maybe more likely the 1 and 9 are swapped.


I wish.  But no, the scandoubler went for a whopping US$910.  I remember this item specifically, because I tipped a friend about it and we both watched the auction as it went on.

Here's the link to it, however, it has expired now and all the juicy details are gone.
