Automatic monitorswitch for classic Amiga from Germany

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

 

 

This is too cool to be true, on a1k.org user Ratte have made himself a very professional looking automatic monitor switch so that Amiga can switch between native screenmode and RTG-modes just as if you where running a CyberVision64-3D with scandoubler or Picasso IV.

I guess this device is specifically made for the Indivision, but it should be easy to modify pinouts to work with other scandoublers (however why would you, Indivision is the best).

You can be sure I am already saving up euro for at least one of these cool switches :D

Indivision ECS and Apollo 630 in an Amiga 600

Monday, October 26th, 2009

 

 

Jens of Individual Computers have not hidden his feelings of the Apollo line of turbo boards for Amiga which are of horrible design so it was not unexpected to hear that his new ECS scandoubler would not work together with the Apollo A630 030 turbo board for the Amiga 600.

Well, on the world famous extreme A600 page this dude have managed to hack an ECS Indivision inside his Amiga 600. As you can see on the instruction page, it required some constructive thinking and physical hacking of the hardware devices.

A600 is  the smallest Amiga ever, now it has a 030 and built in scandoubler capable of 1024×768, wow I want one even if it has a crap Apollo 630! :)

Indivision ECS now for sale at online Amiga dealers

I have been mentioning Individiual Computers Indivision scandoubler/flickerfixer a lot on a sister blog to this blog: Vintage Amiga Hardware Blog, so it is only natural I take that tradition to the news-blog too don’t you think?

Anyways, the new ECS version of the Indivision is now ready and for sale, you can find it at Amigakit for example (and at Vesalia too).

The ECS version of the Indivision works on the A500, A600 (with the IC memory expansion only), the A2000 and finally on the A3000.

You might wonder why someone would like to run a scandoubler/flickerfixer on the A3000 when it already have one built in, while the built in scandoubler of the A3000 is great the Indivision is much better suited to TFT screens and comes with a lot of cool functions too.

So if you have always dreamt of connecting your OCS/ECS Amiga to a CRT or TFT but always found out that 500 dollars for a second hand scandoubler on eBay was too much I highly suggest you buy one from the above dealers pronto because I somehow suspect part of the income from the sale of these devices will go directly to the further development of the Amiga clone – Clone-A!
