It looks like a Gonbes 8220 in a custom made metal box. The 8220 board sells for $25-$35. Could do a search on youtube, people have put up videos of it there.  _________________

I bought one of these last year. It works fine with my B2000 and A4000 on my 22 inch widescreen monitor. I think it's worth the price, as it can be used on any Amiga.
Hope this helps, John. |

Hi,
I have one that I bought for 36 bucks, built up the 23 pin plug and it works fine. I get a pretty clear picture and it seems to work ok on my lcd screen using my a1200, the thing I like about it is that you can plug it into any Amiga, Atari, Will etc. just by making a bunch of adapter plugs.
The picture quality is fine for me, but for further information ask Chaoslord for his opinion, it is better to get a lot of information from various people who have one before you make your purchase.
Just remember this item is pretty cheap when compared to other Amiga items. It will only work with Amiga resolutions and will give you an inexpensive display on the vga type monitors.
I like it

Thats what I am wanting to do. I just want to get VGA output. I will be selling the Indi AGA Mk2 to raise some funds as I don't own a DVI monitor. Might seem odd in this day and age but I got a really good vga monitor that I really begrudge having to get rid of simply for the Amiga :)

Yes - picture quality is fine. Both on my two flat screen monitors, one widescreen and the other a 19 inch 4 x 3. |

| Why don't you buy cheap second hand LCD-TV? With it you could connect both of you Amigas to it, without hassle.
I use old Video seven 27" LCD-TV, picture quality is great and no flickering.
