PicassoII.

Hi all.

Just received a PicassoII today, to go in my A4000.

Now I didnt get a manual, the seller said the manual was in German so I gave that a miss, but I have a scandoubler in the 4000 and i plan to Passthrough the Scandoubler output INTO the picassoII, and then from the PicassoII out to the SVGA monitor.

Will the picasso output the scandoubled Native modes without the Picasso drivers being loaded ? Or do i need to physically load all the drivers from the Scandoubler output direct before the card is initialised ?

Well, if I remember well, the passthrough will work without the P96 drivers. We are talking about an Amiga where drivers was the last thing to install.

it works without any driver, coz earlystartup menu is visible (=pasthrought is default ON)

u got a pII for a 4000???
why not get a zorroIII rtg? it would be a lot faster!
heck, even piccoloSD64 in zII mode was faster on my a1200/rbm-zorroII than the pII card...
