Buffered VGA Adaptors for the Amiga 4000

[dandelion]

Hi all..

I have noticed there are two types of VGA Adaptor, buffered and unbuffered. The official Commodore silver adaptors were buffered, whereas I believe other developers sold unbuffered devices - simply connecting the necessary pins together.

When reading the Eyetech website they sell such an unbuffered device - and they state - "Not A4000". I believe I have a similar unbuffered adaptor which works fine with my a1200 and PC monitor but my a4000 just doesn't want to play ball. So, before I flash out on an official one, is this the cause of my woes? Or was the extra buffering due to problems with VideoToasters and other add-ons?

Anyone know for certain?

Thanks in advance

no - i'm not sure either. But there must have been a reason for Commodore to create one and for Eyetech to advertise their own adaptors as "not a4000".
