What are the slots on the A3000D daughterboard?

@Amiduffer:

You should not get a CyberVision64/3d, but a regular CyberVision64 to the A3000. This as the regular version can autoswitch between the flickerfixered vga signal from the A3000 and its own output. This is something the 3d version can not do - not even if you get the associated CV64/3d-scandoubler, as it needs an A4000(T) to fit.

The 3d version is also slower if you wonder, it should rather have been called CyberVision64/CR (CR = Cost Reduced).

In other words, with the CV64/3d, you will end up with two separate monitor connectors - one for the CV64/3d's rtg output and one for the A3000 regular chipset output.

With a CV64, you will end up with just one monitor connector - for which the CV64 automatically selects if the CV64's rtg output or the A3000 regular chipset output should be routed to depending on which is active at the moment.

@Darrin:

Yes, if you have an A4000. Amiduffer who started the thread has an A3000, which CV64/3d-scandoubler doesn't fit it.

Just about all CV64's have 4MB these days as they are so cheap to upgrade - just get some chips from an old VGA card.


@xaccrocheur:

As adolescent says you just need to connect the A3000 flickerfixered output to the passthrough connector of the CV64 (the other connector on it which isnt connected to the monitor normally). A short loopback cable was shipped with these cards for this purpose.

You also need to enable the CyberGraphX tooltype "PASSTHROUGH" and make sure the CyberGraphX env variable "NOPASSTHROUGH is not set.


@Amiduffer:
Just choose any of the four Zorro slots and you should be fine.
