DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Out of curiosity why didn't you run the HDMI port to the AUX / Serial port 2 blanking plate on the far LHS of the rear as you look at it? That's where I route my Pistorm HDMI output to.

Others remove their TV modulator and route it there.
Because I have an indvision DVI port there so no room.

Because I wasn't too worried about the case the cut out was a no brainer and to remove the modulator would have required a full disassembly.

If I get the inclination at a later date I may put both there.

Feed the Indivision into the RPI via the Camera port using a HDMI-> CSI2 adapter. Then you'll only need the RPi HDMI out.

PiStorm EMU68 includes a driver to display the CSI input in an RTG window or full screen even automatically swap. It's alpha for AGA but will be 100% once frame thrower AGA is in development again

Hmm, will have a look but the mechanics of that are going to to be a faff as the indivision is dvi and needs physical adaptors to get to HDMI.

Will have a think about it though, but for what it's worth I do like having the 2 screens.

DVI-D is forward compatible with HDMI. You can make (any?) Indivision output via HDMI with a replacement cable. They used to sell them on Amibay.

I'll see what I can find today. Mine is pretty old now but hopefully they haven't changed the pinout and I can find an adapter.

Of course I could fiddle it with a dvi to HDMI adapter if I can find the space inside.

I could be wrong... but I'm fairly sure my Indivision (AGAMK3) came with different connections, one was HDMI. So I've got two HDMI outputs in the rear of my Amiga.

I got mine in 2013, an AGA MK2. I'm pretty sure it came with just the DVI cable and nothing else. If it did come with other adapters then I either lost them across 2 house moves, or I still have them buried in a box where I can't find them!!!

EDIT - I just checked back and mine only came with a DVI cable, nothing else.

So, just to be sure I have this correct, with this setup, rather than a 2nd display you just run one display and the Indivision output will appear on the display from the Pi?

I don't know if this only works for the Indivision MK3/Mk3a though.

You might end up with a right kludge inside your A1200, going from DVI to HDMI to HDMI to CSI Pi thing.

Just wait and when it comes out, the Framethrower A1200 won't be expensive. So you could just get that and sell your MK2 Indivision

OK, so this link is actually fairly misleading when you actually start looking at it, and if you buy without thinking, you'll get the wrong thing. The module is actually a different 'colour' in Ali Express parlance and isn't £5 plus postage, it's £27 plus postage, which is £7.20.

The actual default item that's selected for £5 is a heatsink assembly.

Very annoying when Ali Express do that.
