Warning about buying from karmanss

@ Argo

As far as I know all PIVs came with the scandoubler, in fact it is attached physically so that it will function with a video slot that is in line with a zorro slot. Only if you want to use it in a 2000 for example then you have to break the scandoubler off, but there are cables supplied with the PIV to link the scandoubler module back to the main PIV card. In short, I would say that it is generally a poor show to sell a PIV without that module.
The CV64 is a different story.

There have been bad reports about that user already on this board. I'm sorry you had a bad deal there, maybe you can find someone with a broken PIV and buy his scandoubler/flicker fixer module.

The other thing I would recommend is to be very wary of ebayers who use stock photographs from sites like BBOAH and Amiga Resource, because you'll be looking at a mint unit and end up with something that may be entirely different.

Ja, and the trouble is because it is such a small picture you can't even see what the revision number of the card is. For all we know that is a stock photo of another board with the scandoubler photoshopped out. Even if it isn't photoshopped out, it sucks that no mention is made of the missing module, for the benefit of those who do not know the appearances of these cards.

IIRC the guy who cheated JaXanim and the other dudes out of PPC cards/money was Bernd Binder. I don't think Karmanss was involved with that, but that name karmanss has come up before, and not in a good way either.

@ TJLazer

If you browse my pictures in the photo album you will see how the scandoubler is attached to the main card, and where you have to 'break' it to make it separate for an Amiga whose video slot is not in line with a zorro slot.

"...Just because the edge connector wasn't shown, doesn't mean it shouldn't be included. The description lists a Piv, not a Piv minus some bits. What has been delivered is not a complete Piv. There is no reason why every component must be shown in the photo, in order for it to be reasonably expected as being included in the purchase..."

Exactly, my mate, EXACTLY!!
