When the blues get you, give it a tug.

*Chris presses the red button*, That was easy. Lucky you found out it was the VGA cable before you started testing everything. Take care.

Great card, I found one in the A2000 with the MB you fixed last March. Card works great with my Dell LCD monitor.

Thanks Dr Chris 👍🏻 I’ve learnt today that if I need an Amber chip, I know how to get one now 😉 Cheers 🍻

Fortunately for the A2000 owners, there's an RGB2HDMI option.

Exactly. I think it makes more sense now to use these Amber chips to resuscitate 3000s. A 2000 could have a toaster in the video slot and still have 31kz from a pi2hdmi.

Here is the reason why we see so many rev4 fixes. Family visits.

I had one of these boards. One of the best buys I ever made for the 2000. The hi-rez flicker on the Amiga was awful.

For good luck, you should also mark the insides of the case with one of your feet!

I found a new in the box 2320 Amber board in my collection of Amiga goodies (that were scattered in numerous places all around the house). I used it in one of my 4000s until I found my Cybervision64 with scan doubler. It is a useful card, but I found that over time it needs to be readjusted a bit. I never bothered to see if there was a specific reason for that.

Ambers are a bitch to find. I was lucky enough to get one off the old Amibay for a ReA3000 board. I also kept an eye out for the SuperDMAC. I hope the ReSDMAC project comes to fruition sometime soon. One of these days hopefully you will show us your collection of 37+ Amigas.
