Default New Scandoubler ready!
Hi the new Scandoubler previously mentioned in the news by Iowasurfer is ready to go, I've just placed the first order with Roy.

Let's get behind this and make it a success for him, at the price he is selling it he is doing all of us a huge service and saving us from the exhorbitant prices on Ebay...


Take a look at his message at the link below to find out how to order...

Well, I don't know if there is anything "special" about it, but there appears to be a conspicuous lack of other cheap (relatively), new scandoublers.

Hmmm...

Well apparently some of the old ones didn't work too well, but I don't know firsthand because I've never had one.

However, I certainly hope that this one works at least as well as the old ones because I don't think the 1084 will last forever... (On my third one now)And I am having trouble finding an LCD TV with a RGB Scart input in Australia..

hm, the price went up from $43.. the last time I wanted to order it. but its probably somewhat different than atari.

I was told that it does not work with all LCDs (at least the old version of CoCo).

After reading the thread, it seems like a good low cost alternative to those extraordinarily high priced SD/FFs on ebay. $950 Toastscan anyone?
The only draw back I could see was the lack of support for 24-bit AGA screens. So it's really is a great item for the low-end non-aga Amigas. ie. anyone who wants to keep using their Amiga 500 after their 1084 monitor dies. :-D

I signed up there to register my support for the project. I'd certainly buy one for my remaining Amigas.

Well, I purchased one of Roy's Atari units and I must say it works great. It is nice to be able to hook up to a LCD monitor and display your retro games and programs on a nice big screen with nice sharp images. Thanks to Roy!!! My order is in.......... :-D

The guy has made the effort to build it and is prepared to help other Amigans by building more at a relatively low cost, what else can it be but special? Well said Marcb!

I will be buying one.

Didn't it turn out that the doubler supported 24-bit?

Well - I'm buying one too!

It's probably the singlemost important piece of new hardware to emerge for the low/midrange Amiga setup in eons. That makes it pretty special to me. At around forty quid all-in it's an absolute steal. :-D

Will this work with any TFT monitor though or it suffers from the frequency too low syndrome?
