Finally ordered my Indivision AGA 1200 MK.

[XDelusion]

Basically to speed up Nova's port of BOOM, and to make the screen easy on the eyes as I work within OctaMED Sound Studio.

I will be using a VGA converter on this as non of my monitors have the correct jack, but hopefully all will work well as we wait on the long awaited core update.

So what has been ya'll's experience with these things? Are you happy, are you sad, are you mad?

Good question. I've been thinking of getting one of those for myself.

Many thanks for you order

We successfully use the Indivision with VGA converters on Samsung and various other monitors

I am very happy with mine, it has made my A1200 extremely usefull.

I am just waiting for the core update now.

I think you're gonna be very dissapointed if you think it speeds things up.
The AGA1200 is a Scandoubler Flickerfixer. It doubles the horizontal frequency of 15 kHz screen modes, so that you can use a "modern" PC monitor (CRT, LCD or TFT). It doesn't work like an accelerator/turbocard.

Thats not entirely true....

You'll get substantial speed increase(over 100%) by switching from multisync mode to interlace in things like workbench and shapeshifter.  Interlace mode did not work well with my Dell 2320 monitor I was using.

Some people may be using monitors that only support the dblpal and dblntsc modes... those people will also get a speed increase...

you'll get resolutions such as 1280x720 and 1024x768.

We'll wait and see what other goodies are in the new firmware. grafitti, etc...

I will order an Indivision sometime for my A1200. I just don't want to deal with the flickering! Can't believe I dealt with it as a younger kid.  But I just need it to connect to a newer screen.

I have the indi aga mk2 and can't get it to work with straight DVI, or DVI->VGA, or DVI->HDMI.  My TV and my monitor both say that the signal is out of range.  

But on my a1200 I can use the svideo cable just fine, it just looks terrible.

I must admit, I haven't found that much speed increase between PAL interlace and multiscan productivity mode, for average workbench use.

Higher resolutions would be nice of course.

On my machine which is a 50mhz 060, I get 50% Quadra 950 speed in shapeshifter in multisync and 100% in 640x512 PAL interlace...

that is a huge difference in the playability of games.

I have a Philips 107P VGA CRT monitor. HighGfx works fine and looks great for Workbench and OctaMED (gfx artifacts disappear after 5 minutes being powered on). I'm not a gamer so I couldn't give a monkeys about PAL being shifted to the right etc. I have noticed though that with SuperGfx OctaMEDs timing being related to vertical scan goes a bit out of tune. With HighGfx it is fine. I tried it with a Hanng 19" DVI and it worked but it looked too sharp and was unforgiving so I am happy with my CRT.

Ah, I don't use shapeshifter so I can't speak for that

I know I fixed that artifacts issue on my current 1D4 and my previous one(also 1d4) MBs by bridging r127. Mine would do the same thing but return if a breeze went through the room...

try and run WB in 256 colors in both multisync and PAL interlaced...

[runequester]

I'll check that tonight

I usually just run 32 colours in WB but if it's a huge difference, it might be worth the consideration once I have spare change.
