    Some components handle the Jaguar sync differently. Most Scart rgb components handle sync as one line usually composite Sync. The Jaguar provides Horizontal and Vertical sync separately so depending on the RGB cable the equipment its feed into it can cause issues. At least from my experience.

     

     

    I have all my equipment feed through a GBS-8200 with Sync stripper and Scan Line generator hooked up to a HDTV. Everything goes through standard RGB with Composite Sync and out upscale with scan lines. However the Jaguar is the only system I had to hard wire to Horizontal and Vertical sync independently to provide a correct image.

    Thanks for straightening me out there, your details are right on. I should have known better, I was head of Lynx Developer support, but that was a long time ago. Were you an original Lynx developer? Might we know each other?

    We only used Pinky/Mandy for audio development and QA while I was there because of the limited debugging ability.

     

    I don't know how many Howard boards or Pinky/Mandy's were made but I unearthed my Howard Development kit this morning just to check the serial number for this thread. Can you find it in this pile of Atari/N64/PlayStation/SNES/Genesis/GameBoy+ game development equipment? (those scrolls are the original Bubsy level design storyboards)

    There it is!

    It is #028

     

    Stating the obvious here: Some Lynx development documentation is here http://www.atariage....l?SystemID=LYNX

     

    I have no way of knowing if the Howard board still works, my Amiga 3000's motherboard was destroyed by the all-too-common leaking motherboard battery problem. I did recover the data from the hard disks and the source for my three Lynx games from floppies but that is a story from another thread.

     

    The link in the original post is not working for me, did the Howard board sell, and for how much?

     

    Cheers!

     

    Nice collection you have there look as busy an cluttered as mine.

     

    I wasnt a Lynx programer but its a funny store how I came to acquire this. The guy who I purchased my Home from in San Diego was. When it was closing escrow I asked if I could have some stuff dropped off and storage into the garage and he agreed. When he saw it was a massive Atari ST, Jaguar, and Arcade collection he offered to sell me lots of his old stuff. In total he sold me the Lynx Dev setup, Amiga computer, Jaguar Dev Setup, 2 Falcons, one TT, a box full of documents, about two dozen Atari Binders, and two storage totes full of floppy disk, and old Atari games.

     

    He had a couple Kiosk units and store display items but he he wouldnt sell those sadly.

    Thanks for the info, Mr Williamson!

    Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea how many of these were made? The Lynx did not get a hell lot of 3rd party support, so I'm guessing not too many.

     

    Also, about Howard and Handy: What were the differences? I'm not a tech guy, but there must be a reason for two different dev kits existing. Was Howard used first and later they switched to Handy or something?

     

    You have it a bit mixed up. The Handy was the lynx code name. There was a Howdy that was nothing more than a screen some simple logic and buttons crammed into a Lynx Shell that was plugged into the howard dev system. The first lynx setup was Howard/Howdy then later it was Pinky/Mandy

     

    Here is some information for you

    http://devkits.handh...i_LynxPinky.htm

     

    Some additional info

     

    Q. What was the Lynx developer's kit like?

     

    A. Hardware:

    - Commodore Amiga computer: 3M RAM and hard disk.

    - "Howard" board: A parallel-interface module that has the electronics

    of the Lynx, also with debugging tools. A large PC board inside of

    a metal case with power supply, and connections on the back for

    cable to connect to the Amiga, and to the "Howdy" unit ($5,000).

    - "Howdy" unit: Either a small PC board in a plastic case with buttons

    and a Lynx display, or a modified Lynx. Essentally a self-contained

    "Handy" (Lynx) unit, with cables to allow the "Howard" board to monitor

    system behavior.

    - "Pinky/Mandy": A discounted "Howard" board setup that allows programs to

    be loaded and executed. Pinky and Mandy can only download and execute

    programs that are in Handy RAM or a simulated Handy ROM cart. Minimal

    debugging support ($500).

    But it's a damn COOL thing. And you even know what game was made with it! :)

    I'd never part with such items.

     

     

     

     

     

    Yes, it does not look too shiny and well preserved.

    The one in this thread looks different: http://www.atariage....evelopment-kit/

     

    It also has two boxes; I wonder if both are united on the same board on the one on eBay?

     

    The on in that link is a Pinky/Mandy dev system. Those came out later down the road. Much like the Raptro then Alphine Jaguar Dev system
