- Yours is a common problem Greg.
-
- Apparently, you have an A2000 that has the ECS Agnus (1 MB) and a "Normal"
- Denise chip. Also it appears that you are using KickStart/AmigaDOS 2.04
- or higher. You can run the "ShowConfig" program, which is normally found
- in Workbench's "Tools" drawer, to determine which chipset you have.
-
- In order to fix the problem you have described, you will need to replace
- the "Normal" Denise with an ECS Denise (Commodore PN: 8373). The part is
- about $50 USD and a qualified technician should do the installation.
-
- The "black bar" problem only occurs with images that are in overscan
- resolutions (i.e. 704x480), but does not affect non-overscan images
- (i.e. 640x400).
