I don't understand why anybody would even consider buying a FlickerFixer board
for the outragously high price of about $500 just to stop interlace flicker. 
It continually amazes me that people want to do this.  Interlace flicker is
normal and the interlace feature is actually intentional.  It is a requirement
of NTSC video and shouldn't be non-interlace in the first place.

In the second place, you can wait a few months when Commodore releases it's
complete ECS (or at least the Denise) and get the "Productivity Mode" display
of 640x400 non-interlace and pay alot less than the $500.00 the FlickerFixer
costs.

I have a prototype ECS and combined with a MultiSync monitor, the display is
rock solid and clear as can be.  Don't waste your money on a FlickerFixer. 
Just wait until the Denise is final and released and you will thank the day
you didn't blow that $500.00!
