Don't Panic. Please wash hands.

    I never used the shift-pause combo (except when trying to get it back to working after failing.) When I switched out the KB, I put the HP someplace safe, and now cannot remember where that was. I'll find it eventually and do more testing.

    Further information. The Emplant card was not causing the issue after all. It now looks like its the keyboard. Switched out the keyboard and haven't had the problem since. The KB is a HP HB-0316 PS/2 keyboard, and I cannot seem to find a pattern. It works fine for a while, then suddenly it just stops working. Power down for a while and it starts working again just fine.

    Correction, the Lyra 2 starts working again if left disconnected for a while (or maybe just powered down long enough.) However, it stops working on the 4000 after a system lockup caused by my Emplant card (which I'm working on.) Possible it's something on the 4000 and not the Lyra, will be doing further testing.

    Is there a way to reset and/or fix a Lyra 2 adapter? When I turn on my 4000, the KB lights flash, but the KB doesn't work. <LEFT SHIFT><PAUSE> doesn't do anything. Switching it out with the one on my 2000 and the KB now works just fine. The non-working one also does the same thing on the 2000. So, I have 1 working adapter for 2 Amigas :(

    The only reason I brought up scaling is that I could not find an output resolution that matched the input resolution. Anything smaller would cut off part of the screen, and everything larger would leave it floating with a black border. OK, didn't see where I could add to the VGA modes. That was the answer I was looking for, thank you :)


    Just to note, I'm not actually using those really high resolutions, I was just listing them as the normal limits as far as I can find. I usually go with Hi-Res interlaced overscanned to 640x480 (for Mac emulation for the most part.)

    Is there any way to set the AGA Mk2cr to use native resolutions just scan doubled & flicker-fixed? Maybe limited to the analogue VGA lines? From the best I can determine the maximum actual video signal is roughly 1500x568 (PAL Super Hi-Res interlace) with the native screen modes (NTSC & PAL.) In the case of my machine, it is actually 1500x484 (NTSC.) Though, in theory, my system can operate in pseudo-PAL mode with a resolution of 1500x568, the clock crystal will still be NTSC though.


    Since I cannot figure out how to set up scaling, which I prefer to avoid anyway, and I'll be attaching this to a CRT monitor (which should be able to handle those resolutions - according to the manual,) a native resolution mode would be appreciated. The only limitation of the monitor is that it cannot go below 30 Hz, so the scandoubler is a must.
