This tool is a dedicated pattern generator to test ALL types of video displays. It is fully backwards compatible so as to include almost every type of AMIGA that has been produced so long as it has AMIGA OS2.0x or greater. It has been tested on a standard A500+, A600 and A1200 from OS2.0x to OS3.1x, also various AMIGAs to A4000 with graphics cards to OS3.9x. (Also tested on an old style A500 with 0.5MB upgrade, running the A500+ emulator and Workbench 2.05.) It has had extensive testing on Amiga Forever 5 and WinUAE using the ~uaegfx~ modes to OS3.1x, and tested on Amithlon using OS3.9x. NOTE:- Machines with OCS and ECS chipsets are limited to PAL and NTSC, TV, CVBS and SOME OLD monitor modes only. AGA and RTG modes capable of doing ANY PC video format possible to 6400x4800 in only 16 colours using WinUAE ~uaegfx~ modes. Now added a dedicated MS Windows(TM) version to the archive, see below.
