Setting up a Scandy 1200?

Smiley · 19 November 2006, 21:10

Hi, can someone tell me how to hook up a scandy 1200?

I need to know which chips the sockets clip on to and what orientation.

I cant find a manual or diagram on the internet.

Thanks

Operating Instructions are in the Zone.

Many thanks!

Please, could someone upload them again to the zone?

lopos2000 · 11 October 2007, 09:27

I uploaded it in the zone.

Many Thanks, much appreciated!

Damn those Scandy1200s are fragile. I remember when I fitted mine I ended up snapping every wire and having to re-solder.

Hi I've been looking for the manual for a scandy 1200 by Micronik. I've read all the posts and looked in the zone, but its no longer there.

Does anyone still have the PDF and would they be so kind as to upload it for me again?

Thanks in advance...

If anyone has a Scandy 1200, would they run a short test for me?

I want to see if it is a 24-bit scandoubler or 16-bit like the Scan/FlickerMagic.

the main connetor goes on the big chip under where the hard drive sits the second one goes on the chip right next to the keyboard adaptor and the last one goes over by the floppy drive.... Sorry i dont know the chip names

Sorry, the description isnt quite good enough for me to work out which is which.

Could you take a look at this image

And tell me what the numbers on the chips are?

3 Pictures actually because AGA cannot display 768 different colours simultaneously.

Each picture has a 256-colour 8-plane AGA image of one of these three colour gradients.

1) 256 shades of RED
2) 256 shades of GREEN
3) 256 shades of BLUE

In a 16-bit scandoubler you will only see:

1) 32 shades of RED
2) 64 shades of GREEN
3) 32 shades of BLUE

For an example of what it will look like, switch your desktop between 16-bit and 24-bit colour modes whilst looking at this picture:

An imperceptibly smooth gradient becomes stepped.

ok the chip on the right of the keyboard connector is the second one and the other one is the one directly underneath the blue cap

alexh · 22 January 2008, 20:05

Wow I wasnt expecting that.

1204 "Lisa" (Main)
8520 "CIA" (right of keyboard connector)
8364 "Paula" (Below blue Capacitor)

Are you sure about that? Does it work? I cannot imagine how it works connected to those last two chips. Neither has SYNC as far as I know.

Do you have the manual that came with it?

sbeehre · 22 January 2008, 20:24

im confused now

i know for sure it was on the lisa and the chip on the right of the keyboard connector.

alexh · 22 January 2008, 21:23

I have been looking at the schematics for the A1200 and I see that HSYNC and VSYNC ARE available on the two CIA chips (one on each) through the TICK input (see schematic page 7a).

The third connector on the SCANDY must connect to the second CIA (further to the right) and not Paula (below blue cap).

U4 1204 "Lisa" (Main, RGB)
U7 8520 "CIA" (right of keyboard connector, VSYNC)
U8 8520 "CIA" (top right, below floppy connector, HSYNC)

Very strange, both hsync and vsync are available on one chip, U2 8374 "ALICE", and that is what the Flicker/ScanMagic connects to. I guess it must be economics. Two smaller connectors must have been cheaper than one bigger one at the time.

alexh · 22 January 2008, 21:45

Yes the manual (or rather web page) has been uploaded and I was right!

stanlong · 18 January 2009, 05:28

recently got hold of a MicroniK SCANDY it seemed to work sortof
ghosting and oblique lines

removed it carefully from lisa to see whats up there seems to some of the plastic spacers missing between the contacts some ofn the contacts are scewif
so I returned it to lisa but now a black screen no luck

have removed the whole bloody thing?

any sugestions greatfully accepted

looks like ive done evil to the chip near the floppy as well
dear me the floppy light stays on permanently if its connected or nay
however the A12oo runs well otherwise
