k need your guys help

I have all of my 3.1 install disks. My PicassoIV has gone bad and I have no way atm to use composite video. I have a 23pin to VGA adapter but this doesn't fix the 15K-31K issue and I dont have another scan doubler. I have an A4000D with 3.1 roms installed.

What I need is:

the exact commands required to load the dblntsc monitor driver, iprefs and then loadwb without being able to see what I am doing

I can feel my way in the dark so to speak and get to the early access boot menu then boot the no startup sequence button.

I think I need to boot from the workbench disk but if you think install disk then thats ok

The concept is that I think I one of the monitors (dblntsc or maybe its vgaonly) will let me see something. If I am wrong let me know. I just need to get far enough to see something on a standard ViewSonic GS790 monitor. Also have a PS790 if anybody knows if it may be more compatible. I think they will both work fine.

Let me know comments and questions. I am off to the gym but will be back in about an hour. Let me know your ideas, questions and requirements.

System:
A4000D Rev. D 030/25
Cyberstorm MkI 040/40 with 128MB RAM
Picasso IV (broken SD/FF)
IDE DVD/CD-R Combo drive
Dataflyer 500 SCSI Adapter (2GB SCSI HDD not bootable)

Remember I am working blind so any paths, commands, etc.. will have to be typed in manually by me blind. Short is better

I figure it will start off something like this:

setpatch
assign env: ram:
...

I dont know if the correct monitor drivers are on the workbench disk, install disk or the storage disk. So please check if you have it available.

Thats great. Karlos was right about you Hey, can you do me one last favor. Does crossdos of any sort come with 3.1 (can't remember) and if so can we walk through the list of blind commands needed to mount PC0:. If I can mount PC0: then I can copy files from a PC blindly.

This may be tricky but looks like it might just work with a little more help.

Thanks to Karlos and Patrik I was able to get my amiga displaying on a standard monitor blindly. Special thanks goes to Patrik for finding the utility to do and to Karlos for helping me fumble blindly in activating CrossDOS and my PC0 driver to transfer the utility from the PC to the Amiga.

I am now contemplating returning the 80$ composite to VGA adapter I purchased. I will see how it works with the playstation first.
