So what's the deal with MagicWB?
« on: August 19, 2012, 11:25:43 PM »
I'll pay for the damned thing, but it seems I can't. I want to go that route for getting my '060 A2000 w/ Picasso II and 3.1 looking better. So what do I do?

Where can I get MagicWB and who can I (legitimately) pay for it, if need be?

Thanks.

THE most important board to get for an Amiga 2000 is a Commodore A2320 Amber board. This is a MUST-HAVE upgrade. It allows you to use standard VGA monitors, and it passes thru all of the Amiga 2000 computers native screen modes. The A2320 Amber board is such an important upgrade, that I have two of them for each of my Amiga 2000s. One is installed in each computer and one is a spare for each Amiga 2000.
 
If you use the Picasso II graphics board, use a Commodore A2320 FF/SD board and use the cable to hook it up to the Picasso II board. Then hook up your VGA monitor to the Picasso II. The A2320 is the best FF/SD board available for the Amiga 2000, nothing else even comes close.

Thanks, but I have an Indivision ECS, with its feed passing through the Picasso II into my 19" Sony G420 CRT. Works great.



I keep the 1084S tied on as well, and use both screens for more fun with gaming and demos. :-)
