 I have heard lots of talk about scan doublers suggesting how easy it would
be to make.  Sure the concept and implementation sounds so so easy.  Its not
something the typical poor hacker can afford to fund.  I thought about doing
something like this on my own.  I figured $500 for a Multi-Sync and $200-$300
in parts roughly.  Then there is all that time you'd have to hack around to
get the timing worked between your interlacing amiga and scan doubler,  not to
mention the risk of accidentally screwing an amiga or a Multi-sync monitor.
Its a job fit only for a rich hacker or a hardware company.  Now any one know
of any companies planning on releasing such a product?  No rumors or heresay.
