Manufacturer ACT Elektronik, Germany | Date 1996 | Amiga A3000, A4000 | Interface CPU slot | Autoconfig ID 8738 / 35 |
- processor
- 68040 @ 28 / 33 / 40 MHz or 68060 @ 50 / 66 MHz
- memory
- A4000: four 72 pin SIMM sockets accept up to 128 MB RAM
- A3000: two 72 pin SIMM sockets accept up to 64 MB RAM
- supports 4, 8, 16, 32 MB SIMMs, 60 ns
- accepts FastPage and EDO RAM
- supports the very expensive ED-RAM (not EDO)
- memory disable jumper
- SCSI 2 controller
- not Fast SCSI 2
- allows autoboot and supports RDB
- 50 pin internal header

- not compatible with Quantum and some IBM hard disks
- notes
- the RAM ends up as separate memory chunks unless there are only 32 MB SIMMs on the card or only one SIMM of any size
- A4000: the card functions better if there's still a 4 MB SIMM on the motherboard
- A3000: a wire has to be connected between the A3000 SCSI chip and the Kickstart chips

Manufacturer ACT Elektronik, Germany | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port |
- flicker fixer
- doubles the horizontal frequency of all 15 kHz screen modes to 31.5 kHz - other screen modes are passed through
- removes flicker of interlaced screens
- connects externally to the 23 pin RGB port
- being an external unit, it has to encode the RGB signal, flicker fix, split to RGB and sync again - this reduces the quality of the video signal
- sync delay adjustment potentiometer
- claimed to be compatible with the Video Toaster and all genlocks, but it's not in many cases - the genlocked video signal is passed through without scandoubling
- scandoubled screens are much draker than passthroughed screens
- high power consumption - the screen may go darker when the floppy drive is accessed
