Picasso IV on an Amiga 500?
« on: July 02, 2006, 07:58:19 AM »
I know there were other threads about graphics card, but I was wondering if anyone had any idea if this is possible?  Of course, the flicker fixer wouldn't be able to be hooked up, and it would be in a zorro II slot..but is this set up worth the trouble?  Theories are appreciated :)

You can also do an A2000 video slot, the signals are available from the motherboard / Denise pins.



I've been searching for information on creating a video slot but have been unable to find anything.  Anyone have any documentation? (Of course the Denise adapter for the P IV would be a great solution but that would be almost as impossible as finding the PIV board itself - anyone know where to get one of these denise adapters?)

Google for the A500 schematics, then the A2000 video slot pinout and the A500 RGB connector pinout.

Then it's a matter of soldering the correct signals to the correct pins. :-)

Check the PIV's flifi part if you can see what signals exactly the PIV uses, that'll save you some soldering.


Thanks for the good advice.

Just on a side note- were any drivers/software ever made for the PIV that allowed for dragable windows?  Did the Cybervision 64/3D support dragable windows?
