In my last post I wondered if there were any switch solutions for automatically switch between AGA/ECS/OCS and graphics board output out there, witch at the moment there were none.
I solved the problem in one of my A4000 system by attaching an old Bmon manual monitor switch, you might remember the Bmon switches that Eyetech made a lot of years ago. Eyetech did actually have an automatic switch that worked with the DCE-scandoubler/flickerfixer and the CyberVision64-3D card but that switch seems very rare, I have never seen one second hand and them where kind of expensive for switches back in the day.
The Bmon works fine, but I have always preferred an automated switch between screen modes so you do not have to wonder where your output is. When it comes to scandoublers, the Indivision scandoubler/flickerfixer by Individual Computer has crushed all competition because it works so much better on TFT than any other scandoubler or flickerfixer for the Amiga before, so I do not find a problem if that switch exclusively works only with the Indivision.
Anyway, on the very nice German Amiga forum a1k.org there have been some posts of a cool new prototype monitor switch which works with the Amiga 4000 version of the Indivision.
Since I have forgotten German language (only 2 years of German studies in high school) I can only assume it is about a cool monitor switch, maybe Ratte can give a comment about the switch here? 
Anyway, as usual, expect the coolest Amiga accessories to come from Germany, something’s never change!
