I don't beleive it. I can find manuals for Amiga kit I disposed of years ago, but *nothing* I have now.

Just pulled my A4K desktop apart to test something. In the process, I manged to pull out the black and read 2 wire cable that runs from the eyetech EZ-VGA-SDFFV-AMON to the the Cybervisions card.

Anyone got on of these, and can tell me where the dang thing attaches (its still attached to the AMON, thanks!)

I *assume* it would be the same connector as for the Cybervision's SD/FFV, which [possibly] autoswiched, if anyone has one of them.

isn't the balck/red wire the one that attaches to the manual switch used to change between aga/rtg?

alewis · 25 November 2006, 17:37

No, there is no manual switch. Its an AMON (auto) unit... and I haven't a clue where on the C64/3D it connects to.

keropi · 25 November 2006, 17:55

ooo
I bet it is a pair of pins where the original cv64/3D sd/ff connects to...

alewis · 25 November 2006, 19:13

lol. Nervous judicious connecting of cable to pin pairs sorted it. Anyone else ghas the problem...

Hold the board facing you, backplane in left hand, DB15 in right. At left hand side is a set of 7 pins running up the board.

B --------------------------------------------------------DB15
A
C
K
P 7.
L 5 . .6
A 3 . .4
N 1. .2

The lead attaches to pins 6 and 4, ie a *vertical* pair, not a horizontal pair.

Obviously there were different designs; My AMon connects to CV3D with just IDC ribbon; the b+r lead went to a manual switch + status LED, which did choose between Auto and Force AGA modes, on a 5.25" bezel.

Yeah, AMON, BMON, and so forth. Its working now, so all is ok.
