More to the b> point, why bother building one that works with the new denise? The Flick-Off device will deinterlace all video modes, and fill in scan-line gaps for noninterlaced modes. The new Denise can only deinterlace in certain modes with restricted color bandwidth, but it does have some groovy new capabilities the Flick-Off or flickerFixer don't have. I could see wanting both a deinterlacer and the new Denise in the same machine. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM
