Amazing, simply amazing
For PICO9918
Some years ago I had purchased an F18A and installed it into a TI99/4A, and it was great. But, I foolishly sold the machine when I was in a tight spot. Years later I got back into the swing of things and purchased a TI99/4A again. But now the F18A is not obtainable...at least not for the price I paid way back. I about gave up on ever having nice VGA out of the machine and have been using a little Panasonic CRT since.
But now we have an option. And at a reasonable price! It's no wonder these sell out as fast as they do. But, I added myself to the wait list and I jumped on it when it was available.
Shipping from Australia to the USA (NC) took around two weeks. Install of the PICO9918 is easy. Cutting a nice VGA hole not so much, but I faired well.
The picture is just incredible. And, the fact that the PICO9918 doesn't require an external crystal or VRAM, so can also be used in cases where your video crystal, video RAM or display circuitry is bad is extra awesome. So, if you have a supported machine with bad video RAM adding this will solve the problem. That is quite amazing.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this. If its available and you have the need, don't wait. Buy one now!!
