Jim, I noticed another message from Mike S.; he is correct. I have a FR24
and an A2000, with the FlickerFixer card in it. When I hook up the Amiga
in overlay mode on the FR24, the VGA (FlickerFixer) output is real cr*p.
Totally unusable.
In the FlickerFixer case there may be a solution, as the MicroWay makes a
'genlock' adaptor for the the FF board, which I have ordered. They say it
will clear up my FF display even when used in overlay mode. We'll see. Does
Commodore make anything similar for the A3000?
The only solution I have right now (until I see if the cable I ordered will
work) is to turn off the FF monitor each time I hook up the overlay.
One thing that helped me was to put a switch box between the amiga RGB port
and the FR24 input. That way I just needed to flip the switch to go into
overlay mode or not. Beats turning the machine on/off each time I wanted
to connect/disconnect the overlay cable.
