Found Computer Concepts ColourCard Gold podule

[Lennart]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for the Computer Concepts ColourCard Gold podule for my newly acquired Acorn A540.

I hope there's someone around who is willing to sell one to me. If you prefer a swap, I can either offer some Acorn-related gear, such as a ViewFinder podule, or PC components (mainly old ISA sound cards).

Pretty sure I've got a spare one of these somewhere. If you're still looking for one, I could dig it out...

 

[Lennart]

I'm still looking for one, so I'd very much appreciate it if you could have a look.

Found it and tested it in my A540. All seems to be working as it's giving 32K colours on the desktop.

I can get some pictures up if you want...

 

[Lennart]

That would be splendid, many thanks for the quick reply!

Pictures as promised. The lead has a 15-pin VGA plug on it so I used a 9-pin to 15-pin adapter to connect it to the A540. It'll plug straight in to an A5000. The ribbon cable plugs into the genlock header on the main PCB - I think this is always fitted on the A540 but it's worth checking.

I've got the original software disk somewhere but the software and manuals are available for download from the Chris's Acorn's site.

Thank you for the pictures, I'm definitely interested! I'll PM you now to work out a deal.

Edit: Seems like we reached a deal. I'll trade my ViewFinder podule for RobC's ColourCard.

I just tested my ViewFinder and it still works! I've attached a couple of pictures. I'll ship it soon now that is has been tested.

We both received the items and I've just left positive feedback for RobC.
