The following is taken from a flyer sent out by MAST to their dealers:
Flick-off Eliminates flicker on A500/A1000/A200.
Requires multisync monitor, eliminates flicker on all interlace modes including
HAM.
Several software selectable options:
-Shrink mode:
Lets you take two non-interlace screens and display then on the one interlace
screen.
-NO interlace:
FLick-off normally displays interaced screens. IF the Amiga is in non-
interlaced mode, Flickoff will normally double up the scanliines to display
a full 400 line display, No-interlace disables this function.
Flick-offf plugs into the Denise socked and uses the Amiga D/A converter and
video output. It is completely enclosed by the Amiga;s FCC shield.
It includes a diagram similar to this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Display | Flick - Off | Output |
Address | Display | Control |
Control | Ram | Registers |
| | |
| | |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| |
| |
DENISE | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(the diagram here is distorted a bit - it should be about twice as high in
proportion to width as it is here).
The suggested list on it is $399US, with dealer costs ranging from $299 US
for quant 1-4 to $249US for quant 100+.
