It may be time to find a broken A1000…..

Just for information: GBA 1000 will only work in a PAL system, no NTSC.

I came across an old posting of yours on Amibay regarding this matter. A quick test with an NTSC Agnus (390544-02) is indeed causing the startup animation to lock up, but I have good hopes that the anim can be bypassed. The 28.6363 MHz oscillator is only useful for genlocking and since the GBA's RGB port is missing some essential genlock signals (particularly /XCLK and /XCLKEN), this is not much of an issue anyway. I cannot confirm your IDE performance drop.

The GBA1000 from my initial posting has recently found herself a new owner in my friend Jiri from the Czech Republic, who has promised me to take good care of her.
Jiri sent me another nice photo of his GBA, with the Picasso II and the 68060 turbo card removed for the occasion.

Here is another unusual contraption that I was curious about. A gutted A590 with SCSI2SD and a humble extra amount of 2MB onboard fastmem, connected backwards to the GBA1000.
