Picasso IV - what can it do that the other cards can not?

Here we go again from a guy a who owns a 4000T and 060 in OZ you should know. Its simply because this is what people will pay. Is it to much? Then I would say it depends on how much you want one. I went the Mediator way, but surely this is an individual choice now quick hide th spoon and stop stirring my friend. :-D

I'm trying to work out why these suckers are so expensive on Ebay.

For a desktop its the only real solution, No way for "Mediator".

 Many options were available including a TV card, Sound Card and I think one more I forget. All were plugged on to the PIV.
All of the add on cards are hard to find so you would have to "search and spend".

Happy to have one in my A2000.

Sorry Chris, cant, see the logic in what your saying granted and no argument it is probably the best option with regards to RTG graphics cards, but the key word you used was "spend"  were not talking small amounts here, when and if you can find the addon cards, can this cost be justified? I happen to have a mediator and you can correct me if I,m wrong it does an excellant job and has more and less expensive addon options than the PIV, as well as driver updates which are still ongoing. Anthony said he was trying to weigh up his options between upgrading his system or buying a Sam well in this instance and IMHO I would purchase the Sam which is the most expensive option of all but its new, with regards to all of the older options we have been discussing.  It's still a work in progress and much fun will be had tweaking and improving it. Just my two bobs worth g'day mate. :-D

@bigmac,

You get me wrong, was only trying to explain the upped prices. I bought my PIV when new, Not too bad, No other add on cards.

@Amithony

If you only have an older machine save it for old games and buy a SAM. You Will be happy.

Hi! Chris my apologies,  your right I was under the impression you had bought all the cards (lucky you if you had) :lol: have a nice day.
cheers
