Hi,
   I recently bought one and have had to send it back because the damn board
was overheating pretty badly. It works for about 5 minutes with the lid on in
my A500 and 15 mins with the lid off. The UK agent said they have told ICD
about the problem and were still waiting for a fix from them. Basically, after
5 minutes the image becomes very blur, on close inspection, I found that it
was the even and odd fields not aligning correctly.

   When it does work ( first boot up ), the image is very good, very stable.
In its manual, it says that it is compatible with the ECS denise chip,
autodetect PAL/NTSC, and will overscan. Not too sure about overscanning, may
be it's the monitor I used (a normal VGA monitor), I always have a black
border.
