Title: Impulse Firecracker 24 on A3000?
Post by: orb85750 on June 02, 2015, 03:25:34 AM

I don't have any instructions for this Firecracker 24.  I've installed it in my A3000, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong or missing something...  Is the 23-pin port supposed to pass through the usual RGB signal to my 1084 monitor? (I'm getting nothing at all on screen.)  Maybe I need a driver or to set the screen display mode differently.  Anyone know??  Thanks.

Yes, the driver on the install floppy would help.

From what I can gather from 30 seconds of googling, just to confirm you have it hooked up like this, correct?

Amiga 23-pin output --> Firecracker DB15 input
Firecracker DB23 output --> 15.75KHz compatible monitor

The card should pass-through unless it is activated (by the driver or some other Firecracker compatible software).  Certain the monitor works correctly otherwise and the pass-through cable is the right one?
