Any Ideas on what is going on?

Smoke is never a good thing in electronics! Did you have the monitor plugged in to the correct 15pin connector? What display is chosen in your preferences when you tried using it and it started smoking? It sounds like you might have gotten a bad PicassoII card, where did you get it? How much did you spend on it? Did the buyer offer any warranty or state that it was in good working order?
Lots of questions so we can help you. I have two PicassoII cards and they are very good to use on an A2000, or even an A3000. Since you already have a flicker fixer/scan doubler, all your screens will display nicely through the passthrough of the PicassoII onto a modern 31kHz or a bit faster monitor or LCD display.
I liked the PicassoII for its passthrough as it allowed me to use just one multi-sync monitor on my A2000 when I first got it so many years ago, before I could afford a scan doubler/flicker fixer.
