Need Help getting Piccollo SD64 Passthrough cable working.

[Boing-ball]

Hi Chris,

I don’t own a piccolo card. But did own the Phase 5 Cybervision 64 which is similar in design.
What I did was use a RGB to VGA (Buffered I think) and then used a VGA to VGA cable. This then allowed the native 15khz Amiga picture to be sent to the P5 Input connector for it to be mixed and Scandoubled to 31khz for a newer Monitor.
When switching on the Amiga it would output the Kickstart screen.

I see the piccolo has no Scandoubler? So you definitely need a 15khz capable monitor.

Obviously to use the actual RTG side, you need to setup a workbench/AmigaOS and use either Cybergraphx or Picasso96 (P96).
This then allows you to then use the RTG side.
