You've probably seen the scandoubler project page at Elm Chan:
http://elm-chan.org/works/sc/report.html also mentioned in this thread: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=25865 The schematics look terribly similar to those of Amber found in A3000's manual. |

A quick poll:
Are You guys interested for an ECS scandoubler, with analog VGA output? http://amigaprj.blogspot.com/2015/04...500-a2000.html The final price will be ~60-70 EUR. |

I applaud your project however I think the market is all but gone. Especially at that price.
Those who had money and we're super interested bought the Indivision ECS (€90) years ago. It's extra chunkey screen modes offered some interest developers and novacode supported it in several releases of game ports. Those who were interested but on a lower budget bought either a cheap RGB SCART to VGA (or HDMI) off Amazon (€30) or the GBS 8200 With the Vampire A500 almost here with built in SAGA there is even less of a market. |

While I appreciate all DIY projects hugely, I must say, that... VGA only? No DP or HDMI? Very sorry, but I've not had any equipment at home which would accept VGA in years. While some Amiga enthusiastic probably are prepared to buy some equipment just for Amiga, they are buying 15kHz compatible monitors as well so any VGA-only scandoubler offer very little.
This is of course only my opinion and I actually hope I am wrong All homebrew stuff is always great. |

Well, if you want to use your machine with a CRT monitor (manufactured from the end of 90s up until the end of the CRT era) not specifically built for Amiga, then most probably it will have a VGA connector. I use my scandoubler on a CRT with VGA for a bit more than 18 years now. It looks way better than on any LCD and I don't think I am alone with my opinion.
