There _will_ be a scan converter/deinterlacing device on the market in the
near future (Jan/Feb).  One will be on display at Comdex in the dealers show 
and perhaps in CBM's booth.  

>third parties are pursuing the scan conversion problem for the Amiga
As Hedley points out, it is not a Commodore product, it is being done by a
third party in the Boston area.

To be 100% color compatable, the initial version is for the B2000.  The 
card will go in the video slot and require a multi-scan monitor.

I saw the system many months ago as a 16-color A1000 solution.  The results 
are hard to describe, it produces the cleanest crispest screen you can 
imaging!! It should transforms the A2000 into a _much_ more professional 
appearing workstation for CAD and desk-top applications.
