Microway 2000 AGA flicker fixer output
« on: November 05, 2007, 02:28:19 PM »
Hi All,

 I have a Microway 2000 AGA flicker fixer for my A2000 (with a VGA adaptor) but no manual, can anyone tell me the output frequencies and any other info I need to know to get it working?

Keep the faith!
A2000:-
KS sharer3.1/1.3, A2630+4MB, A2091+2MB & 234MB HD.

Did that, there are no instructions or specs, just a driver. :-?

 This card don't need further instructions.

 It's only a flickerfixer for the A2000. The only thing you need to plug it to a standard VGA monitor is an adapter in order to plug the VGA plug (DB15) to the provided EGA socket.
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

To expand upon my post and to add a "me, too" to rkauer, I use a DB9-to-DB15 cable to connect my AGA2000 to my Spectrum 28/24.  Works perfectly.  Are you having problems using yours?

The fF puts out plain vanilla VGA.  IIRC, it's 60 Hz vertical refresh and 31.5 kHz signal, 640x480, I think it would do at least the original 4096 colors.  So it takes your Amiga output and makes it VGA monitor compatible.  Not SVGA, not XVGA, in fact I am not sure you get anything outside of 640x480 in terms of overscan, etc.

The Commodore board of similar capability came out a while later and had at least some limited programmability as to overscan, etc.  A2320, I think.  

Of course the basic A2000 that the fF was designed for would not do all the tricks of later chipsets, and it was a great solution at the time.
