Tobias Seiler aka MastaTabs?

[Rabbi]

Um...I purchased a P-IV card with all its add-on cards, Concierto, Pablo, & Paloma from someone in the U.K.

The Paloma is good for the U.K. (only)?  Digital TV is coming here in the States this coming February 17th (?), 2009.

Question #1:  Was there ever an NTSC (w/American Frequencies) Paloma released?

Question #2: How would I know which Chips to look for to see if they could be upgraded?

Question #3: What does this chip upgrade fix/additionally offer?

Question #4:  About how much in US$ would it cost to get upgraded chips?

Question #5: How would I get in touch with Tobias Seilor if I need to upgrade the chips?

Question #6: Which driver would be better to use - CGX or P96, & why?

Question #7: What are the URLs that can point me to the latest versions of CGX & P96 s/w patches/upgrades?

I'm planning to install the P-IV in my A4000 shortly.

Thank you all in advance for your answers.

Yup. If you have a PAL-I version it is good only in the UK. Want to sell it?

Yes, it's a PAL-I version.  Can I use that in Israel, too?    If I can't, I would consider selling it.

RTFM

Pablo is multistandard and supports PAL & NTSC. Only SECAM is not supported. 640x480 is the NTSC compatible resolution.

Sorry, that was a mistake.  I edited my post - I changed Pablo to Paloma in Q1.

CGX4 is commercial, you'd have to buy it.

Yes. I purchased it eons ago from Software Hut here in the U.S.


The last version of Picasso96 was 2.0

Yes, but which is a better driver of the P-IV h/w & why?
