DirtyPCBs seems to like everything having a .gbr extension with a seperate extention for the drill files and the cuts file. At the bottom of that page is the link to the bom and gerbers (in one zip on aminet).
Just ordered 5 PCs. Will send you one when they arrive.

Design of the board looks good. I think i might be able to improve on the CPLD firmware.

EDIT: Only thing i would change about the board is to make it 4 layer.
Wow, that's awesome!!!

so the fact that it doesn't show full screen is just a matter of firmware?

If it worked correctly it would be a great alternative to the other more expensive and hard to find scandoublers. Also because it seems to me that there are not many alternatives around ..

Personally I have not been interested in these kind of scandoublers because external ones are so good. Generally I want to use Amiga on standard TV.

Ok, instead on my amiga 2000 I have a Picasso II and I would like to use it, but at the same time I would like to display the standard amiga resolutions without having to use two monitors ..
