SD/FF...has anyone seen this one??

[halkx]

Hi

I am out looking for a SD/FF for my Amigas (1200D and 1200T) and I was dissapointed that the indivision one is sold out until I saw this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260318558142&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ht_4324wt_1137

has anyone seen/tried this with a 1200??

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Michael

Ahh, this old chestnut. This has been suggested before. I think the answer is "Yes, it'll work, but it's not quite as good as the Indivision, or another dedicated Amiga SD/FF solution"

Arnljot is our unofficial Amibay secretary, he may be able to turf up the previous discussions that have been had about this particular unit.

P.S. Welcome to Amibay!

Thank you for your reply...sodo you think I should buy one of these or wait for when/if the indivision becomes available again??

I use the ladies for mostly gaming and web surfing if this helps...

I'd wait for the full info on this box before you buy. I'll have a look myself and see if I can turf up the previous discussions on it.

It'd also be handy to know what monitor you'll be using with your Amigas, this may have some influence on what SD/FF solutions are best for you.

Vesalia had recently 7 indivisions for sale, I managed to get hold of one, and the rest is gone :-(

I can say as much that according to individual computers, there will be a new production of the indivision aga for A1200 in the late of summer I have it on a mail somewhere.

if you have the patience to see the outcome, I'd suggest that you do that.

and welcome to the forums

I have one of those and it works pretty well actually. It is great with my X68000 but I actually have a better solution for you. Once this badboy is back in stock it works great and I recommend it hugely!

Not as good as an internal scandoubler, but the best external you can get.

This looks interesting...
Especially when it comes to it's price ($40).
Could we have some screenshots?
Did you use a specific RGB to VGA connector adapter?

Under gaming, I understand you can still get banding on certain games.

So, no. Stay away from it. - It is not indicative of a true FF/SD experience or acceptable solution for the Amiga.

Look on Wiki for CGA, VGA & SVGA. CGA is only 4 bit & 16 colours.
