Picasso IV missing flicker fixer module
« on: February 26, 2018, 11:33:05 AM »
I just aquired a PicassoIV, and it has no flicker fixer module. The part was probably cut out for use in a A2000 and forgotten. The seller never had this part and he had bought the A4000T with this card like this.

At least the PicasoIV works as a RTG board.

Anyone know where I can buy the flixerfixer and the 2 ribbon cables?

That is really bad luck for you. Good luck, i think it is not easy to find the flicker fixer.

Probably could be hacked - the FliFi is on the main board afaik, the break out is just for connections.

Doesn't there also exist an adapter that sits underneath Denise?  Might be easier to fabricate your own one of those, as opposed to fab'ing a PCB and pin headers to fit in the video slot.

Or I suppose an Indivision ECS would also work, provided you can find the proper pinouts and the signal is compatible.  Personally I've had good success running an Indi ECS through a GVP Spectrum, but could never get it to work right going through the switcher on a Picasso II.  But YMMV.  Good luck!  :)

Yes, it did, made by Village Tronic. Was for A2000 and A500 towers. I have one in my A500T - works fine.
