Anyone know how to alter a A2320 to fit an A4000D?
« on: March 05, 2005, 07:50:55 AM »
I have an Amiga 4000 Desktop and just purchased an A2320 to solve the Scandoubler/Flickerfixer problem with a VGA monitor.  Does anyone know of a guide or know how to alter the A2320 to fit inside the A4000D case?

Thanks,

Jeremy

IIRC it isn't advisable to use a A2320 Amber board with an A4000, AGA and Amber don't go well together.

It will work, you just won't get AGA resolutions, only ECS.
Don't think you phisically have to modify it to fit.
Making it work with AGA is a nono, that's not going to work, ever.

Thanks for that link,

I was looking for a scandoubler for days, and all the shops are sold out.  I thought I was doing a complete EBay scan but apparently I was not.

Hopefully the owner understands English and will send it to the US ...


Thanks again,


Jeremy

- make sure you don't run any high refresh modes (super#?, multiscan, productivity..), as the amber board will attempt to double them to something too high..
- AGA colours will show up incorrectly
- remove the bracket from the end of the card and it should fit inside the A4000
