Hi,
I've never used a graphics card before (on an amiga), so I plugged the card into my Video Toaster equipped A4000 and installed some software I found on the net (Picasso II+ 1.21.lha). When I hooked up my PC monitor (a Phillips CRT) all I get is a "no signal" message. Is there something else I need to do? I tried both outputs.
Thanks


Hi,

OK, The Picasso II board has 2 outputs on the back, looking at it from the back the right plug or the plug the closest to the side edge of the Amiga 4000 is the output.

BUT

That isn't going to be the end of your problem, the other video plug closest to the center of the Amiga, is an input plug, this plug must be fed by the 23 pin video output plug on the Amiga in order to get video out. Now I am using a GVP IV24 card that feeds my Picasso II, so I am using a VGA jumper plug for that. So the Picasso II card should have come with two pre-built jumper plugs, one for a Amiga video out, and one for a VGA video out. I am also using Picasso 96 for driver software and have the original Picasso II driver disk (not nearly as good as Picasso 96). If you bought the card without the plugs try looking at Software Hut used parts, or Amigakit for adapter plugs

Hope this helped

I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.
