Received in good order.. Now to adapt it, so it will work with an A1000. I also need to get a longer and different CSI cable, as I'm using a RPi Zero 2w, which expects a 22pin CSI. Nevertheless, the 20cm FFC cable is way too short for a (rejuvinated) A1000. I'm expecting at least 40 - 50 cm is needed.
Positive feedback left.

Just an update for A1000 users:
I’ve ordered a generic 50cm CSI (camera serial interface) cable to be connected between my RPi Zero 2w (22 pins) and the framethrower (15 pins) on Amazon:
I’d installed it first in an A500+ and found the timings not correct in RGB mode. I had a look on the Discord channel and there are similar issues mentioned already. Its an effect they call “shimmer”, see attached. This is related to the version of the Denise chip. As mine is rejuvinated, I’m using an ECS super Denise 390433-01.
Claude discovered timing differences between the different Denise chips (see attachment).
The solution for me was to use a test firmware on the framethrower, which can be uploaded from the amiga by using the ftupdate tool (both attached). Just type ftupdate framethrower_denise.bin in a cli in the directory that contains both files.
Once it worked, I installed the setup in my A1000. No additional tweaks or modifications necessary, it now works very well.
Setup:
Amiga 1000 rejuvinator PAL
2MB chip modification
Fat Agnus (2MB)
Super Denise 390433-01
PiStorm/RPi Zero 2w
Emu68 v1.0.7 on 32GB sd card
Framethrower
Wireless HDMI connector (no shielding inside A1000)
