A company in Germany called IKS has come out with a US$90 product that installs in your SM124. I read a review in the January issue of 68000ST, and they seemed to think it was a solid product. It produces grey scale to emulate the low and med resolutions of the ST. If anyone is interested in the address, or if any Germans out there have the product, I'd be interested to hear from you. I will order one in late January and post my experience. Prices listed were DM129 for the board and chips DM149 for the board assembled DM259 (I think) to send in your monitor and have it installed...

Four month ago I bought the assembled board from IKS. The kit was preinstalled and all I had to do was to buildt in the bw/color switch and connect about 15 cables inside the monitor. This is not as easy than it seems: You have to work very carefully, and check things twice before connecting them. If you are experienced it'll took about 3 hours to do all the stuff. If it works : fine; if not : happy searching. The bw quality is nearly the same as before the upgrade but it very hard to work with 50 Hz color. IKS recommends to execute a 50to60hz.prg as first file of your AUTO folder. If you have still questions, feel free to contact me. ----------------------+----------------------------+----------------------- Wolfgang Bachhuber | woife@Germany.Sun.COM | Unix Group | FAX (49)-89-46008-400 | "If you had my job, German Answer Center | Phone (49)-89-46008-0 | you'd drink too."
