I have seen how much money these cards are getting at the moment......I will buy one of these as soon i see one appear !

hehe, just be aware, that some ppl have had issues with some zorro III configs (force to zorro II mode), and sometimes the socketed flicker fixer chip can get loose/dirty, meaning that your custom picasso iv screens will work, but flicker fixed ones may have problems.

But i think ppl with problems are in the minority. Ask the seller if the flicker fixed modes work properly.

£90 for a 4 Meg 10 year old gfx card with no 3D acceleration just sound sounds wrong to me. However due to high demand it's not

Soldering? You just connect the output from the flickerfixer/scandoubler to the input connector on the backplate of the CV64. Just take any flickerfixer and connect it to the CV64 and you have a proper autoswitching solution.
