Internal scan doublers were common with Amigas...
I also remember a product called a "flicke fixer",
which in essence I guess was more of a field doubler
then a scan-line doubler. Would still preclude the use
of a stock 'Miga monitor I guess too, since the
interlaced modes were the highest res (hmm but this
would mean a single monitor could do both non- and
interlaced video). Uy
I did just remember there is one "exception"
to the
simple case I
outlined... brown. We had a discussion here some
months ago about how
one of the IBM color monitors "knew" brown was funny
and had some
compensation circuit. I'll just restate that my
suggestion is an
approximation, and you might or might not be
satisfied with the
results - presuming you can locate an older
multisync monitor in the
first place. The general solution (using a 2006-era
monitor) is
likely to be an expensive route.
Nah, the 2K never did brown (nor did the bulk of non
IBM monitors IIUC). But if that big brown donkey game
was written in BASIC, it could be ported to the 2K
easily. hmmmm
Shouldn't be very expensive at all if the methods
mentioned here are applicable. Of course there's the
scan doubling. That also doesn't sound too daunting,
and if I could ever get a hold of a Princeton Scan
Doubler, it's likely to become a whole lot easier.
