2. It has a built in Flicker Fixer. Nice for that native pass-through video option stated above for today's VGA monitors. The Cybervision 64 and Spectrum 24, although able to pass native video, did not "upgrade" the output signal for VGA compatibility. The Cybervision 64/3D had an additional board / module for flickr fixing, but it only worked on the Amiga 4000 and was difficult to find.
And PIV's sd/ff can also change refresh frequencies, which none of the other gfx card's scandoublers can do.
BTW. CV64/3D's module is only scan doubler, not flicker fixer. Also CV64/3D's picture quality isn't as good as PIV's.
PicassoIV also has four channel audio mixer. You don't need sound card for mixing CD-rom, Amiga etc audio sources.
4. The Picasso IV had add-on options, although very rare. There was a very limited production of a 3D daughtercard with a 3DFX VooDoo chip for use with the very few games out that require 3D acceleration. There was also supposed to be some AHI compatible sound card attachment and TV Tuner card.
There were video encoder, tv-card and sound card modules on sale. And they weren't _that_ rare. I've seen them on pretty many people.
