Bvision Problem - Missing connector
« on: June 12, 2004, 12:36:16 PM »
Hi guys,

I've managed to secure a Bvision for my Amiga-in-a-Sparc-Box project, and as such am now back into Amigas (again...)

My problem is the bvision I have is missing the vga socket daughterboard connector thingy as seen here:

http://www.amigasuperbit.com/catalogindexsp/it020006.jpg

I've just got the bvision with a ribbon cable (and of course the BlizzPPC to connect it to)

Am I now stuck ? or is there a way to build or purchase the vga bit ? I'm good with a solding iron an can build most projects.

All help appreciated.

Cheers Karlos - any chance of a close up pic of the vga connector board?

I've done the usual searches for bvision stuff (although not aminet yet) and haven't come up with anything useful.

I have a scan doubler board currently plugged into my DB23 which has a vga connector and that takes a ribbon from the scan doubler chip thats plugged onto the amiga mb, and I'm wondering if i can just feed the bvision ribbon into that ?

I'm seriously hoping i'm not up sh*t creek with this one. :(

Wow! Thanks to everyone for their help!

I've taken a picture of my bvision:

and I think I'm right in saying it's a DCE model - therefore all I need to work out is the pinout from ribbon cable to the VGA connector - which makes things a LOT easier :)

Cheers,
