I had friend with a Picasso II in his A3000 but I never got good close look at it. I think he switched to a Retina card if memory serves. I would like to see how this comes out for you.

What make and model of LCD monitor are using with your Indivision ECS? I have a Sony Trinitron I plan to use at first with the Indivision but later I want to replace it with a LCD screen.

OK thanks for the information. I figured the 4:3 would still be the best choice for the Amiga even with the Indivision.

I had forgotten the Picasso II came in a + version, A former Amiga user I knew I think had that version in his A3000 but later replaced with a Retina card. Or was it the other way around, Ah it's been over 10 years ago. I would'nt mind having either one of those.

As far as the Indivision ECS, I assume you need a VGA to DVI adapter to use it even with the older Dell Ultrasharp 4:3 ratio monitors?

OK that makes sense since those monitors came out ealier (well I assume they older unless they still make 4:3 types) the industry was in a transition stage so they icluded both connector types the same way graphic cards had both VGA and DVI for a while. Some cards still do I think but less and less.

I"ll take look on Ebay and Craiglist for the Ultrasharp Dell monitors. They should be pretty inexspensive. Hopefully there won't be any dead pixels!

I found this Dell pc with the monitor, it might be worth buying and installing Linux on it. Then again I would be using the LCD on the Amiga and sticking the old CRT with the Dell if I went that route.

 On the other hand I found this Ultrasharp monitor in phoenix. I would have to drive 120 miles out of my way but I have family there anyway.

I am really getting ahead of myself here, I do that sometimes when I plan on Amiga and PC upgrades. I need the PSU and adapter cable first, and of course the Indivision ECS.  :)

First thing I did.  ;)


Is that a pin setting/jumper on the Picasso II?
