MacroSystem Vlab card

[dougal]

Hi ,

I bought an Amiga A4000 and found this card inside :

MacroSystem Vlab Rev 1.0

I check out this :

Looks like a video digitizer of some kind .

I have no interest in the card and was wondering how much it is worth as i couldnt find it on ebay so must be pretty rare .

Any one have an idea about it ?

If i can get 100 eur for it that would be amazing ... I would get back the money i paid for the Amiga 4000 itself :-)

The words on the card look like the pic you posted .

I dont think it says Motion on it .

Yeah i think it was a great deal . I havent had enough time to check it out properly but here are the specs as far as i can see so far :

A4000/030
Kickstart 3.1 (Amiga Inc 2000)
1 Gb IDE HD WD
IDE Liteon CDROM Drive
Floppy Drive
16Mb Fastram + 2mb Chip ram
VGA Adapter (didnt try it yet)

When i try and run SYSINFO the screen messes up badly for some reason , so i cant tell the exact specs . But the system info thing of WB says it has an MMU or something .

Not bad for 100 Euro .

Are you sure it is the VLAB-Motion card and not THIS card?

The earlier VLAB digitizer card is worth much less that the NLE (Non-Linear Editor) video card that the VLAB Motion is.  I think I remember that someone had written a driver to use the old VLAB digitizer card as a display device when coupled with a webcam, or something like that.

IIRC, the VLAB Motion card clearly has the text which includes the word Motion right on the card.  I am away from home and cannot check the silkscreen text on my VLAB Motion card.

I don't know what either of them is actually worth these days, but good luck selling it.  Sounds like you got a great deal on that A4000!
