sd/ff problems

[kickstart]

Hi...

I have a DCE (i think) scandoubler-flickerfixer, close to this one of the pic but in a transparent case.



Well i have some problems with it, first and the most important (in my opinion), temperature, sd/ff reach very hight temps in 5-10mins of runtime, second is all the noise and interferences in screen, im tryying with some monitors all of them CRT with the same result. Anyone with this sd/ff and same problem or know how to solve it?

This sd/ff have 2 leds one for signal by-pass and one when ff is active, a switch is present behind VGA connector, what make this switch?

Thanks.

 A friend of mine have one of those babies, so I can answer you.

 It's NORMAL the device heating. There's is no problem @ all. If you bother with it, cut a small hole over it and add a fan (not the type who keeps screaming, the blowing one is preferrred :-P)

 The switch in the back is for toggle the focus.

 Sometimes the image is not THAT clear, so you can play with it online.

 So my friend tell me.

Yeh add a fan on the sd-ff, it'll work better then. I have a fan on mine because it'll overheat otherwise.

Hi...

If switch is for a some kind of fine-tune, can i switch on/off with the amiga switched on? and any idea for power supply for de sd/ff fan?

Thanks for the answers

 Drive the fan from the parallel port.

 If you have the skills, of course. IIRC, the parallel port can manage up to 100mA, more than enough to source the fan.

 You could even make a "pass through" in the port, giving the ability to use a printer or a 4-joy adapter while power the fan.

Hi

The sd/ff of my first post is this:



But now i have another question, i hace a pic of the sd board and apears one resistor between 2 pins of the 23pin connector,  my sd/ff dont have this resistor, this resistor seems home-made, anyone know if is something for fix some bug or what? the pic is the following (sorry for the size)

 Pin 2 is /XCLKEN (External Clock Enable)
 Pin 23 is +5 V

 I think this little hack is intended to fix some sort of clocking fix. (I can't see the resistor's value - focus, please).

 This SD was reworked, BTW.
