Vidi Amiga 24(rt) Pro "no interface"

[spaceman88]

Hi,
I found a Vidi Amiga, downloaded some software, plugged in a video source and A.C. adapter and it keeps showing a "no interface" message. If I unplug the AC adapter it shows a "no power" message. Am I doing something wrong (no instruction book) or is this thing dead? Thanks

Yes, the parallel port. BTW the software I downloaded was labeled "Vidi Amiga(12) rt" but I think it's the same (correct me if I'm wrong).

How is the vidi connected to the Amiga?  AFAIK it was through the parallel port

I haven't been able to find one that listed for the 24 RT, but I think it's just a difference in the amount of RAM in the 12 RT & 24 RT.

Not sure.  See if you can find 24 RT software, as the hardware was different: 12 bit capture versus 24 bit, and the resolution was different as well.

That unit in the picture is the exact one that I have (right down to the "PRO" sticker). You wouldn't have an  ADF or DMS of that disk would you :-) ?

Tension: No A1000, I'm using my trusty A1200.

Stefcep: I'll see if I can find any "24" named drivers.

Thanks

I have one of those Vidi 24RT digitisers.

No interface means it cannot detect the Digitizer on the parallel port

Here you can see what was in the box when you bought one:

Note all the stuff is labelled 24, there are no items labelled 12 (at least for me that was the case)
I wonder if you have the wrong software and that's why it doesn't recognise?

Well, that did it. Your version 3.2 software recognized the hardware where my version 1.? didn't. I even printed off the manual. Thanks X-ray and everyone else who helped.

That's the DMS and the manual, taken from a backup CD.
I am hoping that DMS isn't protected, lemme know if any problems.
