Hi,
Over the Amiga's life, several devices were produced that connected to
the 23-pin video port, and allowed more colours to be shown.
I'm aware of at least five. Were any other video port devices produced?
- HAM-E from Black Belt Systems
- DCTV from Digital Creations (this also plugged into the parallel port
and the hardware included a video digitiser)
- ColorBurst from M.A.S.T.
- Fun Color from Adept Development (saw this on
amiga-hardware.com)
- Graffiti from Individual Computers
Technical info on the Graffiti is available from the Individual
Computers web site, but I couldn't find detailed docs on any of the
others.
I would like to get hold of:
- Technical details about how the hardware works for DCTV, Fun Color,
ColorBurst and HAM-E. (I got a little info on the HAM-E from an old
Usenet posting.)
-Details of any chips inside any of the devices. or just high-res
pictures of the circuit boards.
- Any software that came with ColorBurst & Fun Color (DCTV & HAM-E
software is available on the web, but other versions of those would be
good to have too.)
So if you have that or know where I might get it, please let me know.
(The eventual aim is to allow Amiga emulators to support at least some
of these devices.)
