...So I am needing either a Picasso II (I believe that that is a VGA card -- please correct me if I am wrong) or to find one of those type flicker fixers....


Just to be clear, the Picasso II is an RTG graphics card, but not a scan doubler/flicker fixer.  The Picasso IV, however, has a module for the video slot that can scan double the native modes for disply on 31KHz monitors.

I do like the Picasso II.  I have one in an A4000 that I am thinking of selling soon.  The only drawback is that it is Zorro II speed.  It would be perfect for an A2000 with 3.1 ROMs and an accelerator.  A SD/FF card would likely work well with a Picasso II since they don't compete for slots (or even for space) and the Picasso will automatically switch between RTG mode and native passthrough (VGA in).

I hope that made sense, I am very tired!
