Woot, My indi showed up a couple of days ago. Have been testing it hard out and man it's sexy. Crisp, the Amiga has never looked so good.

Chris at Amigakit is amazing, genious give that man a pay raise as he also fixed my accelerator card, rebuilt the pins.

I will be buying more stuff for sure through them.

On the standard A500 I get 1 MB chip RAM, most of the WHDLoad games I try and run wont and state not enough chip RAM to run.

But on the A500 plus it has 2MB chip RAM and I don't get that error and workbench is snappier too :-)

Man need to stop posting on here, should be working LOL

Default Re: Indivision ECS - Pulling my hair out

I got a used one on ebay which works well. Sure not a crisp picture as the indi aga mk2 for the 4000d on dvi, but hey it works. The one i ordered from amigakit cam with a broken pin, exchanged that by them sending a new socket after a few messages to and fro. But: the indi ecs from amigakit which seems to have been reworked apparently needs a second rework.... will return it as soon as as i have time.....120 bucks is too much for a product producing artefacts (horizontal short strips) flickering on screen.....

Wow that does suck, hang in there. Mine took two trips and two fixes and a couple of months to get it working right.

Can you get Vesalia to credit you and then buy through Amigakit?

Can't fault the one I have now, had two different fixes applied. First one was meant to fix the artifacts and green/flickering screen but never did. However it was fine on a V6 A500 and my machine is a A500 Plus.

The second fix that Amigakit and Jens came up with was the winner. Really sharp picture, games look amazing too colours are brighter than I've seen on an Amiga before.

Will have to post some pictures :-)

Since i return my A604 and ECS for "repairing or replacing", i didn't sent back the whole packages content (the cable and the support for the 2° clock port), so Vesalia said he couldn't refund me...
Looking at the time passed, i could take the missing parts from italy to germany on foot!!!
