Re: huh?
that 'square thing' my friend is a scandoubler and should clip over Lisa chip, the VGA cablen header pointing toward the RGB port.

Re: huh?
nevermind those wires.
you seem to have hauled a new babe with a PCI busboard, will you tell us more about it ?
you can check this pic for installation of scandy 1200, but it's quite small.

check other pics for installed scandoublers. and think about my instructions. after examining the board they will make more sense and you will realise there're not much confusion about it.
but installing it back with that busboard on might be difficult. maybe you can just give it to me

@JuvUK
okay how to fit a scan doubler/flicker fixer
Here is pic by Doppie1200 from Amiga.org
shold help you with facing and alignment
now that othe set of wires looks like some interesting bit of hackery involving the ec020 and the never populated FPU port..
if you could take the mediator off and get a closer lookie with the camera (in focus) i may well be able to have a stab as to what the mod is trying to do.

Re: huh?
i shall try and get a better pic for you Zetr0 m8, now i've put the square thingy back on Lisa, i'm guessing i should now use the vga out from that thing to connect to my monitor? because i'm just getting no signal?

Re: huh?
so what does the graphics card do?
Re: huh?
Zetr0 said:nope there should be a VGA header from the Scandoubler, this is what you need to plug-into the SVGA monitor

Re: huh?
actually you need a monitor switcher. you have two outputs from your amiga, native graphics output, (from scandoubler) and graphics card output. Now if you're only using workbench and friendly programs, you can do without the native graphics output, and live with the graphics card. however, anything that uses the graphics chipset (read, all games, demos, etc) will switch to native graphics output, you can't view from the graphics card. that's the sad state of affairs with graphics cards and amigas unfortunately. graphic cards which plug into actual zorro slots (and video slots) of big box amigas may have built in monitor switchers though (CV64, Picasso IV comes to mind).
Also, when you're making your first installation, you will need the native output until you setup your workbench and configure your graphics card.

Re: DCE FlickerFixer/Scan Doubler Questions! - huh?
In your first post, the Bottom Pic shows another couple of possible Chip locations on the board. If they were populated, it would be a Flicker Fixer as well as a Scan Doubler! :wink:
The pic below is a FF/SD version of yours fitted in an A4000Dcr Rev D.
I renamed your Thread & included the Pic below to encompass fitting in the A4KD. This DCE FF/SD or just SD will NOT fit in the A4KT.
