Thanks!

While I did get one of the 8200s with a lot of problems, in general I have had good results from Gonbes.  The 8220s for ~$5 are worth stocking up.

I got one just to try it out. For $5 with free shipping you cant go wrong.

+1, & honestly how the heck can north american companies compete with this :insane: In Canada now they want to raise the minimum wage yet again so this $5 with free shipping product from China will cost 10 times that + shipping ! I know health & safety, taxes, insurance, crazy unions etc. but it's a global market and competition will dictate who will survive all that aside.

Grabbed two. No immediate need for them, but at that price...!

That's why we need trade agreements. Most companies in the west aren't playing on a even field. They are forced to comply and actually pay good wages but not for others.

yes they are forced to comply, pay good wages then they in turn must increase their prices and in doing so are no longer competitive..thats the Catch 22 !

The sale title says 'GBS-8220' but if you look at the pictures, you'll see on the PCB 'GBS-8200 V4.0'.

Isn't the 8200 an older model?

[LoadWB]

The 8220 is a dual-output board, the 8200 is single.  For my purposes, and for $5.98, it doesn't really matter to me.

Thats a pretty good offer. I dont like the lag it has and the artefact generated around moving objects. Has anyone connected his Amiga to a projector which can display native 15 khz screens?

Interesting.  I had not noticed that problem.  I will have to check that out.

My projector has S-Video and composite inputs, so it is possible it will sync down to 15kHz but I have never tried.  Probably because I also do not have a DB23 to DB15 adapter to try. Bummer.

it looks like a scam.

Possibly. My two have been updated as shipped, they are expected to be delivered 12th Dec. Lets see.
Any issues then it is all through eBay and PayPal so I am not too concerned.

Same, mine shipped according to ebay. If they dont come I just file a claim and get the $5 back.

So I've been pretty patient, just wondering if anyone's gotten theirs yet.
