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.

No worries.
Have you tried contacting Chris Edwards (Dr Chris)? He has his own YouTube channel.
