As the designer of the Sync Strainer hardware, I, too, would be most interested and most grateful if someone could explain the DblNTSC driver phenomena. As near as I can tell, some sort of AmigaDOS function (Mode Promotion?) is doing us the *favor* of running DblNTSC when we aren't really interested. What some customers do is to let DblNTSC crash the Toaster, then warm boot and Start Toaster a second time. Works fine. It turns out that the first Start Toaster DOES get the gen-lock running; upon warm boot, ALL screen modes are limited to NTSC scan rates, so DblNSTC is thwarted. It's not clean, but it does work. Again, any light on the above that anyone can shed would greatly be appreciated.
