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.
