Compserv Scandoubler II
« on: March 01, 2009, 01:06:50 PM »
Have noticed my Compserv Scandoubler II in my A4000T has quite a lot of flickering pixels in all modes
I noticed it has an adjustable thingie which you can turn with a flatblade screwdriver
Does anyone know if it has the same function as the adjustment screw on the Amiga 3000 scandoubler?

Yes, it's a variable capacitor.
It's there to adjust the oscilator frequency, so you can compensate the kind of image imperfections that you described.

I had one too long time ago... never got it working 100%... I also remember some pink flickering pixels... luckily the smaller v1 Arxon works perfect, no screws no fiddling!

The weird thing is that it worked flawlessly when I had it in my Micronik A4000T
Must be some other timings in this real A4000T that's causing my small problems..
