Probably because it's the external model, and needs to convert
analogue rgb signals to digital, then back to analogue, not easy.

The internal one sold by PowerC that I'm using works perfectly, apart
from only being in 16bit, not 24bit like AGA is (you can't usually
tell tho :)

It may only work in A1200's though, you'd have to check.

Of course, the best option in terms of quality would probably be a
Picasso gfx card, which has a SD/FF built in :) (Or I think the
Cyberstorm's are upgradable with one...)

See ya :)
