Got a tip from a friend on the net of someone selling an Amiga 4000 and 1084 monitor near me, pick up only. So I sent a mail and told him I could come and buy the package, no problemos.

Earlier this week I got the go ahead and Monday this week I got on a small trip to the outside of Stockholm to pick up an A4000 sans keyboard and mouse and a 1084 monitor.

Stockholm, Sweden – the land of the second hand Amiga fourthousands. Man this is probably the tenth A4000 I pick up in 15 years time lol. (more…)

This is supposed to be an Indivision AGA A4000/CD32 review but since the scandoubler is the same design as the A1200 version what could be said about that version can be said about the A4000 version, get one, it is without doubt the best scandoubler/flickerfixer for the AGA Amiga computers.

This version only works in the Amiga 4000 desktop and in the CD32. I guess not many will buy it to mount it in the CD32 but it is a nice bonus (never say never). (more…)

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.
