Title: Replacement indivision aga video cable
Post by: blanning on October 26, 2009, 04:45:09 AM
Does anyone know where I can get another ribbon cable for the indivision?  I'll call amigakit in the morning.  Is this some sort of standard cable I can get anywhere or is it proprietary?

i removed the cable on my system,indivision VGA output plugs direct into a socket located on the A1200 motherboard which i find works better for me as im able to switch between Indivision & Bvision.

my Bvision also does not use any cable,both cards cableless.

Bit lost by what you said, there is no where on the A1200 mobo for you to plug the indivision 10 way IDC lead in.

Maybe he's referring to the genlock video inputs on the trapdoor slot.

He has been working on moding his A1200 for ages.  His posts are always very hard to understand as I assume english not his first language.  From what he says and from his other work I am inferring that he has put a vga header somehow on the A1200 mobo which somehow displays either bvision or scan doubler.

correct

the Bvision now connects to the LED pins via a short link which is routed to a 15pin VGA port ( replaces old 23pin socket ) via relays which also controls the Indivision ( default ). now that everything is on the motherboard it may be possible for auto switching.

the old LED wires will be replaced by 16 pin socket for internal floppy LED track counter,floppy read/write access,HD access,pcmcia & tri-colour power LED.

But the original poster wanted an indivision cable, I dont think he wants to go modding his A1200 Mobo.

Out of curiosity, are there any pictures of this mod???
