Don, I have an Amiga 2000 which has a mother board rev. of 6.2 so I carefully cliped off the jumper from the rom. As for the Agnus it's the 1 meg ecs Agnus. After leaving a message on Cis I decided to put the old Denise back in it's place with the 2.04 rom/software and found I was able to get all my colors back/ham pictures looked good. Possible I got a bad chip. As I do work with electronic components at my work I made sure to observe static precautions. If you come up with some other information about Denice please let me know. I'll wait a couple of day's then I'll try to return the chip to the vendor and get another chip. Thanks for your help. Mike Egan

Mike, Yup…I'd suspect you got a bad ECS Denise. I've had one in my A2000 for a year or so and it works flawlessly. Don

Don: I'm not really clear how ECS Denise works. With the new Denise installed, will I be able to simply hook up a Multi-Sync monitor to my A-2000 and have the new graphics modes available? I am currently running ADOS 2 from software. I don't plan to install the rest of the chip set. If this is the case, does this mean that the video card from CBM and others like Flicker Fixer will not be necessary. If they are needed which functions are enhanced by Denise and which are improved by the video cards? Bill Perez San Juan, PR

Bill, NO. The ECS Denise does NOT deinterlace the video. It simply adds a few more modes (like 1280 x 400). To deinterlace, you still need a FlickerFixer type add-on. The ECS Denise does not require a VGA (or multi-sync) monitor. Don

Don, Thanks for the prompt response. Then I guess that means the A-3000 has the CBM equivalent of the FF built in? Bill Perez San Juan, PR

Yes…the 3000 has the CBM de-interlacer built in.

Mike, Best bet is, you got a bad chip. Pete
