Everthing soldered by myself
With a good PCB soldering is not easy, but it can be done ;)


How would this work?  With a A3000T and Promethius PCI with Voodoo card.

there are currently certain folk on this site who claim that someone working from home or a garage, can't in this day and age compete or create such products as you seem to be doing. :)

Nah that's rubbish talk.  It does get harder to work on projects at home once you start getting into very complex / high speed stuff, but that's mainly because of the cost of the instruments you need.

For cool little projects like this, it's totally feasible to do them at home if you have the knowledge and are that way inclined.

AH.

I don't really understand how this works. If the hardware is automatic, what is the software for?

its a mix out of a big old analog switch and some LSD

sometimes you will see colors and other cool effects  :D



...
the switch is electronic, it needs a signal (low/high) to select one of the both sources
the second part is "switchcontrol", this tool detects every change of the monitorid/screenmode
switchcontrol is providing the electronic with the correct low or high signal, depending on the used screenmode
signal will be given by the 8520-ic
