Found a scan doubler ( who would like one ) ?

[IOWASURFER]

Been chatting with a gent about making the Amiga community
a scan doubler...
This device would hook to the rgb port and allow a sync to 31hkz to any vga monitor but wanted to know who would be game..

These have been working on Atari computers rock solid for awhile now and
i believe they would work just fine for Amiga as well...

Would be about $65-75$ but wanted to see if there was any interest first???

If theres enough interest Roy said he would make and sell them to Amiga folks..


Here is a flicker fixer/ scan doubler going on ebay now
I was bidding at 222$ I got out bid and I said heck with this has to be a better way
and then I found Roy!
============================================================
  As soon as he has a prototype will post the results here!

This chap has made a scan doubler for the Atari and now I asked him to look into the Amiga so he is concentrating on the Amiga now he has been able to make them for 65-75 $ USD recently as last year.. IF he can do the same for the Amiga we will have a very cool solution...

I talked to Roy the one making the boards for ATARI right now.. He is currently working on this for the Amiga and would like to take some time and see how it comes out!!!

Re: Amiga RGB to VGA monitor - recent experiences?

If you dont mind a 16-bit scandoubler / flicker fixer then you can buy them in the US for $48

Email Roy R. Justus (RJRTTY at aol dot com) for details.

While fine for ECS, there is a slight loss of colour resolution in AGA.

The 65-75 was just my best guess could be a lot cheaper or vice versa until he is done with the first AMIGA prototype however with his ATARI successes I bet he will come up with some good stuff..

I guess the best thing about this scan doubler is it allows the little man to have a easily found cheap solution for a real Amiga computer without paying a leg and arm..

Finally a real hardware solution for the AMIGA if he can get them tweaked ALEXH we will be in for a treat dont ya think!?!?!
