The dual screen bb1's require a processor for the top lcd, unlike the bb1.5 where both monitors are driven by the BB2 mpu.  So the conversion depends on which way you want to go. The easiest way is to just obtain a topbox from a dual screen bb1 that is being parted out, complete with the top monitor and associated processor board (also known as a TseTse board).  Then the conversion is simply swapping out the top box from the one you have and connecting the harness that come out of the the tsetse board and power cables.

There was a member selling complete monitor with tsetse attached.  Look through the classifieds, he might still have some left.

I know some people like the games that require top box cf's but if you are thinking about evolving to BB1.5 then I would focus on that (because everyone knows it will have a 22" monitor conversion in the future lol). NXT2 cpu's are pretty reasonable these days and I have some top boxes with 19" monitors I'm sure I could let go of one pretty cheap as a few of those machines are being decommissioned.


I bet there are some people on here that could sell you a NXT2 with bios, jurisdiction and maybe even a 1810 clear card.


Just a though
