Title: WANTED: Any Zorro GFX card.
Post by: Tension on December 07, 2009, 05:39:07 PM: Hi. I`m looking for any Zorro GFX card for my a4k, as my 1084s has finally bitten the dust after 20 years of loyal service.

Must be really cheap, as I am unemployed and have a kid on the way.

Can anyone help me here??

Thanks in advance.

(I know, its not "very very cheap," but it's cheaper than I've ever seen one go for.)

..or, allow me to offer a nice C=2320 scandoubler instead! Handles AGA modes nicely.

I would jump on this if you can, that's an awesome offer from tone007. I've been looking for one for ages and they're always more expensive. It's a nice, fast card with a passthrough for your scandoubler... very cool!

That`s why i said it had to be very very cheap. Like 20 quid. Or free.

It`s worth a try... If I cant get one i`ll prob sell by Amiga stuff and just leave the scene.

Too much heartache.

Could you not get another monitor for free somewhere that runs? Most people give them away nowadays because they swap for TFT or all-in-one's...

Post by: Tension on December 08, 2009, 01:32:04 PM: Cheers for your offer mate.

Still not sure if i can afford it though. I`ll get back to you real soon.

This is a crunch moment for me. I`ve been wanting a GFX card for about 10 years now, but i couldn`t afford one. Now, I absolutely need one. I don`t want to get another monitor / indivision / connect it to tv / use RF modulator etc etc. It`s a GFX card or nothing. My eyes cant handle the interlace any more. :(

Does the offer still stand?? I`m getting withdrawal symptoms here :)

Cheers.

I`m too long in the tooth for that. 15 years of interlace i think i`ve earned my stripes.

Post by: tone007 on December 24, 2009, 02:39:40 PM: You are aware an Indivision or a good scandoubler with flicker fixer would eliminate interlace flicker completely, correct?
