- One small point, If you upgrade to a graphics card, or use some other
- device that syncs the video out, using a non standard adaptor can
- give your amiga rather strange behaviour.
-
- When I added my CV64 and attempted to use the adaptor that was supplied
- with my Microvitec, the Amiga would refuse to boot, black screen,
- the hard drive spinning up and down in 1 second bursts.
-
- Obviously, this gave me cause for concern, but changing the adaptor
- to a standard CBM made one cured it.
-
- Cheers.
