carlsson Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Err.. two days overseas shipping, or did you buy from a US distributor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjameslv Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Bought it from the US amigakit website. The packaging showed it coming from united kingdom though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastRobPlus Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 One of the best devices from I.C. Nothing negative to say about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Uhmm what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Uhmm what is it? Flicker fixer/scan doubler so you can use your Amiga with modern VGA/LCD monitors. Promotes PAL images too, so no more monkeying around with settings, worrying about screen rolling, chopped images, etc. Let us know how you like it cjames! I bought one a couple of years ago and never took it out of the packaging. lol Guess I like using my old Amiga monitors with my computers, but figured some day, might want to hook a larger screen to one of them.

cjameslv Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Very cool! I totally need one of those for the old A2000! Yes! Post a review... please! Good idea, I can do that. Been using it for a bit now. I write one up within the next few days here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjameslv Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) So i installed it and right away i see a huge issue...The cable is way too short for anything useful. Other than letting it hang loose from out of the case (which is not an option) it wont even reach any area where the connector can be mounted.So first thing i did was take the cable apart and solder in a much longer cable. Before: After: Mounted: I'm working on a video review with some game play & functionality tests and will be posting that soon.

eightbit Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I have one coming as well. I was considering cutting my case too in order to mount the VGA, but it is so clean (looks brand new) I can't find myself to do it I'll probably just have the ribbon cable hang out of the rear of the case. Looking forward to your video review though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbit Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Ehh...the heck with it. I am cutting the hole for the VGA as well...you have inspired me I have a 10 pin IDC extension laying around here so I won't have to resolder the cable. Individual really should have included a bit longer cable especially for the price of this thing. I'll post pics as well when I'm done. Just waiting for the A500+ recapped motherboard I ordered to arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbit Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Not nearly as smooth as yours but at least I didn't totally bork it up Hard to do these types of things with two daughters and a dog bugging the crap out of you at the same time. But, it works and is functional. I was going to smooth out the bottom but it gives the VGA cable a snugness that I like since there are no bolts anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbit Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Looking forward to your review. Me, I love it! It makes me wonder why oh WHY did I fart around with attempting to get old Commodore displays when this thing was available. I know, nostalgic displays and all...but this is just awesome. I picked up a $5 Dell ultrasharp 4:3 display at Goodwill last week and it is fantastic. Probably one of the best purchases (next to my Ultimate II+ and CFFA3000) I have made this year. Can't speak for the ACA500+ as that is still coming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
