Anybody out there got a Picasso IV for sale at a fairly reasonable price, let me know. Cheers.
Failing that, any Picasso II / II+, or Cybervision 64 / CV643D card will do.
-
I see these going online for like $400USD so I guess it depends on what we think is reasonable. I'd like to buy one for my A4000 as well but I can't justify that kind of outlay for an Amiga video card.
I know that they are great for Amiga but for that kind of money I can get a high end 3D Nvidia card. And I don't buy any of those either. :-D
So, if you find a source - color me as Me Too!!!

Link for a Piccolo, which is comparable to a PicassoII.

Agreed I would like one as well but their prices are high and they don't come around that often which leads to a mad rush (higher price) to get one.
Goodluck anyway

Careful that link is for a Piccolo not a Picasso IV. A nice card, but not at all the same thing.

A Piccolo 64SD went for $255 last week. I was interested but thought this was a bit steep. I too would prefer a PIV but none are to be found. I settled on a Cybervision 64 3D from Software Hut. They have a few brand new ones left and are selling for $179.
-
Yeah i know if it was a Picasso IV it would have been ALOT more atm. but since i have stock A4K this card is ok for me for now....
Providing i win ofcourse :-D (I better win or else :laughing: )

@Retro_71
oops... sorry about that. :-D
@Jeff
Yes, your right its not a PicassoIV. The Piccolo is more like the PicassoII. Still a great RTG Video Card for an Amiga and the original poster asked for either. But I'll edit my original post and note that its the Piccolo.

At $400....they are a bargain. They are very hard to find.
As for a PC Video card ...for that kind of money you can get a top of the line card from NVIDIA or AMD. I paid les the that for a NVIDIA 8800 GTX.
Cheers

Yesterday I saw a Picasso IV being sold for 261 euros on Ebay.
Which makes me a happy man because I only paid 300 euros for an A4000T with a Picasso IV and an Apollo 4040 accelerator :-)
-
If you're lucky and prepared to wait you can get a good deal for a PIV. I bought mine for 130 euros on eBay of all places!
-
€130 is a good deal (at the current exchange rates).
The usual price is about £150 ($300 / €200)
-
Got it!!!!!!!!!
£92.31 - did i do well???

Do the the Cybervision cards at Software Hut have flicker fixers with them? It'd nice to have high res but I'd really like to promote the old screen modes as well.

No. You either need another monitor connected to your rgb out or a monitor switch connected to both the C643D and a flicker fixer. I'm using it on an A3000 that has a built-in flicker fixer and I have a monitor switch as well. I don't use native modes very often anyway.
