German Ebayer - amix68k

@amix68k

I'd contacted you some months ago about the 511000 chips not being compatible to Amiga 3000 - please stop offering those chips! They may be compatible with some extension boards but they're not with an A3k and never will be.

If you don't, I'll buy a set and then you owe me an A3000...

btw: 'without warranty' means exactly that: if the board stops working after some time, it's the buyer's problem. But if it doesn't work right away, it's the seller's problem because he sold it as 'used' which doesn't mean 'dead'. If you have hardware that's dead or untested, sell it as such and not as 'used, no warranty'.
Read eBay's comments, they say the same thing.

Yes, I meant offering them for the A3000, of course. There's no problem in selling them for what they are.  ;-)

Dunno what T-Online fouled up here, but the only correct MX for iinet.net.au is filter.iinet.net.au. :roll:

For testing in Z II mode - JP1 & JP2 can be used to force that.

Looking at a detail shot of the PIV it looks like the 'flicker fixer', 'dongle', whatever card is nothing more than a simple connection to the video slot. Nothing that is of any use by itself - and nothing the card wouldn't work without (at least I fail to see a reason).

Since there's no trace of dedicated flicker fixer RAM (little circuitry at all), it looks pretty much like the FF part in the PIV is realized by running the video output into the VESA feature connector of the CL5446, writing that video to the frame buffer and voilá, 31 kHz output.

Hmm - I've been looking quite a bit, but it seems ebay(.de & .com) has dropped that definition. They only rant about 'new', but 'used' is barely mentioned...

It seems, therail does have a point afterall.  ;-)
