Tom,
The C= display enhancer (2320 ?) will work in the 4000 (I have one in
mine), but it does not support all the AGA resolutions and doesn't pass
through all the full AGA color (BTW most 256 color pics seem to come
through pretty good). My current setup is as follows. I run a 640 x 400
NSTC interlace workbench with NO mode promotion. I run the output of the
2320 to my 1950. The 2320 does all the scan doubling and I get a rock
solid no flicker, no multisync switching display – just like the 3000. And
just like the 3000 everthing including self booting games are scan
doubled. Now I DON'T get full AGA color through this port but for 80% of
what I do (AutoPilot, Final Copy II, PageStream, etc that's fine. For the
20% of the time when I want to view full AGA color I have a 1084s
connected to the 4000's regular RGB port, so a glance to the left does it.
I also use the 1084s for DCTV work and watching TV. 🙂 Now if I do want to
use one of the higher rez AGA screen modes then I need to do some cable
swapping.
Now the REAL good news. C= will be releasing a special display enhancer
designed for the 4000. It WILL support all AGA modes, include a 24bit
frame buffer, and a host of other tricks! Denny knows alot about this
puppy, but he ain't tell'n! 😉 I've heard a release date of "3rd quarter
93" spoken. But then again we were supposed to have SCSI II by the "end of
the year" (that's 92!), so who knows?
…AutoPilot Engaged…
