New Scandoubler ready!

[codenetfx]

Is there a hardware hacker out there who is willing to post the circuit diagram for this flickerfixer-scandoubler monster device? It can't be more difficult to build that than GB's A1000 board...

We had a little "situation" today with one of the Macs: the Classic ("Superclassic" because it is motorollin with 040) stopped buzzing along. No power on, nothing. Just a tiny high-frequency pitch from the power supply. Now, if I could only find a screwdriver that matches those Apple screws that hold the front face of this industrial-design beauty. It is great for workout too. By the time I get it to work again, I will have moved it half a dozen times and lost at least a few pounds (Sterling and otherwise).

Anything Amiga hardware-related seems to have that unique catch-22: without hardware, no software. Without software, no hardware. Or, you have software but no hardware. Or hardware is vaporware but you have an SDK and an OS.

Now we are down to programmable logic chips and their supersecret software.

Time to worship 1084S LOL

And A520 modulator. This little thing, with an NTSC converter connected to composite video (because most of these on ebay are PAL) work nicely with Amiga. With a composite video sorted out, one can find a nice LCD to watch favorite Amiga games on Or a big screen TV if you have one

This flickerfixer scandoubler business sounds like a joke to me. Too much fuss for no or little payoff. I saw one go for close to $500 on ebay the other day. That's just ridiculous. I would like to know *what* a scandoubler can do better than A520 with composite video output (in Amiga's present situation).

@a-pex

ok, I looked. Flickerfixin' Wow. Superawesome (just quoting Bill gates here).

Scandoubling flickerlicious.

Doubleplusgood!

How do we build one out of off-the-shelf parts?

@alexh. You asked for a translation of that a1k page with flickerfixer.

It basically says, see here, here and here. Look 'ma, flickerfixer superdoublin' and boy do I have fun with it. Not much else in that post.

Time to kick the tires on that good ol' Motoroller 68K.
