Need to sell my Firecracker24. Don't really use that much and could really use the money. Only three month's old and has seven month's of warranty left. All software and accessories included. Willing to let go for only $675.00 !!!! Please call Dave McKinnon at (608)271-0321[hm] or (608)8330777[wk] Thanks, Dave

I know you probably need the money but what the heck? Interested in trading it for an excellent condition Pioneer laser disc player with serial port and remote control? >>DonovaN

Dave, I'm thinking of buy a firecracker for my a2000. I'd like to know why you sold yours. Was there any problems I should know about. I got stung when I bought a DCTV which did'nt work on my machine. Would appreciate any comments you would have, Thanks. Harry.

If you looking for Dave's Firecracker, its already sold to me! Its a wonderful board and I like it alot. If you already have DCTV and looking for better 24bit display board, get Firecracker (its the best for now). I was worried about Flicker but its not bad on 1000 x 482 hiresolution screen + screen redraw is pretty fast. So use DCTV for animation & Firecracker for stills and paintings<-painting software is not that bad. Only problem I'm having so far is, on my A3000, I can't get the PAL screen to boot properly anymore. – THANX R.SATOH ->via Whap!

Firecracker is a wonderful board. When I first started using it, I left my jaw on the floor gazing at the beautiful graphics. The biggest fault I can find with it, is in the software. It doesn't have any means to access fonts outside your assign font drawer. You have to exit the program, reassign the fonts and then go back in. It's not bad, just kind of an irritation.

Dave: Just thought you (and anyone else that has a Firecracker24) that according to my local dealer Impulse has now extended the warrantee on all Firecrackers from 1 year to forever! No kidding, Impulse's Firecracker has a lifetime warrantee now. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
