The Flick-Off device will deinterlace all video modes, and fill in
scan-line gaps for noninterlaced modes.  The new Denise can only
deinterlace in certain modes with restricted color bandwidth, but it
does have some groovy new capabilities the Flick-Off or flickerFixer
don't have.  I could see wanting both a deinterlacer and the new
Denise in the same machine.
