automatic monitorswitch for any graphiccard

[Ratte]

Some people might remember my first prototype of a automatic monitorswitch:

After some redesign and betatesting i started a new version:


It is full software controlled, no manuell switching needed.
Automatical detection of the used videosource.

Reduced size, can fit inside a standard A1k2-desktop housing if the rf-modulator is kicked off.

Ratte,

Do you make batches of these or do we have to make them ourselves?
I want one

[magnetic]

Looks promosing man

I think you can generate many sales is you make this board in quantity!

[joekster]

I could really use one! I hope they come assembled and priced right...

[kolla]

I'm definetly in for a handfull

[ajk]

Does it need support from the CGX/P96 side at all or does it work purely electrically? I don't fully understand what is discussed regarding the parallel port and CIA signals on that thread.

[motrucker]

I may well be interested too...

[RMK305]

Very interested also. I rekon you could shift a good number of these.

What is the maximum rating (in terms of resolution & frequency) of this board? Will it be able to do high resolutions of the Radeon 9200?

You could probably sell to the Atari Falcon community too for use with CT63 + CTPCI

Very interesting! Thanks for conducting this work
