Title: Video slot pins - which one is number one?
Post by: Flashlab on October 22, 2008, 09:28:27 PM

I'm going to install a Neobitz Component video board in my 4000. I could use the Video port pins but I'd rather solder it inside my machine. Does anyone know where the RGB and sync signals can be read and where to find a +5V? Or even better has anyone doen this already?

EDIT: changed topic title to match latest question in this topic.

How about the daughter card? More precisely: the video slot. Easy to solder cos you can take it out. All the analog video signals you'll need AND +5v / GND

Bonus is if you screw it up that daughter cards are not as expensive as motherboards :-)

Finally I'm getting ready to solder but now I don't know what is pin 1 on the daughter board. When facing the board with the pins upwards, which one is pin 1?

Well my first attempt failed; my monitor is saying the screenmode is not supported.

Maybe I did some wiring in the wrong way. I suspect I connected a wrong ground; I used Video Ground/Digital Ground. I'll try another.

Ok I found out that I need NTSC for it to work. So I did some testing with NTSC and screen quality is horrible. I guess it's my Samsung...

I'm now thinking about going back to PIV and let the GREX solution rest. Or I could get a good monitor just for my Amiga that can handle native modes as well.
