It should be possible.

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

If you don't have at least an 030 A500, don't bother.

I've been searching for information on creating a video slot but have been unable to find anything.  Anyone have any documentation?


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.

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?

Do you mean  draggable screens?

CGX supports them, but if you turn it on, switching screens becomes slower.

I've actually learned to live without draggable screens nowadays - I usually run a mixed set of RTG and custom chip screens anyway, so I can't make full use of it anyway.
