I've found the talk about the new 2320 FlickerFixer-type board very iinteresting. However, I can't find a dealer anywhere who has even heard of it, let alone has any in stock. Is this another of those limited distribution deals where only certain parts of the country are given the new product to sell? I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has this product; please inform me where and how you obtained it. Thanks. Don

Don: Sounds to me more like a case of uninformed dealers than anything else. I have a 2320 Display enhancer (official terminology from CBM) and it's really nice. The 2 things that I really like about it are that it can handle NTSC & PAL (the FlickerFixer is available in either PAL *or* NTSC, not both), and that there's a switch on it to disable it while still allowing the standard video to pass thu the board. When I had my flickerfixer I had to have a separate cable going to the 23pin connector to use standard video output, and now I only need one cable. Also nice is the fact that nothing else is needed to be able to use this board while using an external genlock. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale

My dealers have had "data sheets" from Commodore for quite some time. At least one dealer in town has had them in stock for a week now. I've had mine for about a month now and I absolutely love it. A great enhancement for your machine. -Dave

Dave – Out of curiosity, what monitor are you using now that you have the A2320? I've heard that the combination of a Microway Flicker Fixer with a Mitsubishi Diamondscan monitor works well (a combination that I had been considering), but I've pretty much decided to get an A2320, and am now thinking about which monitor would be appropriate. I'd imagine that Commodore's A1950 works well with the A2320 also. Jeff Schweiger

Jeff, I haven't gotten a multisync yet; I was planning on getting it and the card at the same time. I'm also leaning toward the Mitsubishi; I especially like the presence of both TTL and analog ports. I'm definitely leaning also toward the 2320. I hope they're well suited to each other. Don

What is the Retail and Street prices of the 2320 going to be? –Alan

Alan – Commodore's suggested list on the 2320 is $299. I've no idea what the dealers will be actually asking. Jeff Schweiger

Speaking of monitors, my boss plopped a Taxan Super Vision 770 on my desk last week. I *think* it will work with the FF and the 2320, but I'm not sure. (I don't have a manual, and I really haven't looked into what monitor does what). If anyone reading this thread has one of these monitors and is using it with the FF (or the 2320), I'd appreciate hearing about it! Steve

Jeff, I'm using a Tatung CM-1495. I "believe" the A1950 is also manufactured by Tatung. They have tremendous physical similarities. I recommend it highly. -Dave

Dave, How much did the 2320 cost? Dom Fontana
#5276From: David CzayaNov 4, 1990 2:47 PM
The retail is $299. I got mine through other channels so it wouldn't be relevant. -Dave-

I would like to know where you got yours my local dealer has not heard about the 2320 yet. James Scott Great Day to be Alive

I got mine thru CATS (direct from Commodore). My local dealer is The MicroWorks (716)873-1856. I know they had several in stock last week. If you call, tell them I sent you (pronounced Sigh-yuh). They know me pretty well. -Dave

My Dealer just called me today and said he should have some in stock by the end of this week. So thanks for the Reply but I was just in to big of a hurry again. James Scott Great Day to be Alive

What's happening on Dec. 23? A super-nova or something? -Dave PS It's hailing right now! Yech!

Don, May I suggest that you ask Dave Minnich in CBMSER about the 2320? He can help you, and can help get your dealer supplied as well. Dave is the Commodore Customer Support service person on CIS. Betty
