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:

(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+.
