it has a passthrough port. when/if you get a scandoubler for your A2000, you can route the native graphics from there to have a single monitor solution. The CV3d lacks this.

But please avoid Picasso IVs. They are expensive and breaking that scandoubler from the board for a measly A2000 is sacrilege. Believe me you will get fussed and bored with your A2000 soon, and go for a A4000 in the future, and you will regret breaking the scandoubler.

what about it ? it's an external scandoubler. Good for an A2000. Internal ones will give you better results as they don't do the AD conversion at the RGB port. But really external ones are also good as they are.

But, I suggest you don't rely on softhut website for your upgrade plans. They don't update for ages and most of the stuff listed there are out of stock. Just FYI.

I would avoid PicassoII as the poor cirrus is slow when you want to use 16bits and 800x600.


Zorro 2 is the bottleneck here, not the Cirrus2. It does quite well in 16 bits 800x600. Picasso II is just the right choice for a Z2 system. PIV is overkill.
