#Bridgeboard,VGA, and CD
3 messages in this thread
Can anyone give me a hand with a bridgeboard problem I've been living with for
quite a while now? I have a 3000T with a 386 bridgeboard, 5 megs, and a vga
switchbox, etc. I would like to buy a better vga card but the one a have (an
older OAK VGA card w/512K) is the only one that I can get to work. The others
give me a screen that looks like it "wraps" around twice. I have an NEC 2A
monitor but I have tried several other monitors as well. I would appreciate
any information at all. Also I would like some information on connecting my
scsi cd-rom drive to the amiga and the ms-dos sides at the same time. I have a
scsi card on the ms-dos side. I can get it to work on either side just
fine—both not both simultaneously.
Thanks for the help Arlen
Arlen, I am using a Paradise Speed Star Pro VGA board to my Mitsubishi
multi-scan monitor and it now works great after replacing a mis-labeled cable.
As for the SCSI, I have a Sound Blaster 16 SCSI-II board with a three connector
cable going to HD and Trump-Card Pro from the Adaptek section of The SB Pro. I
run a 26 pin cable from the Trump Card to an L-bracket on the back side of my
2000 then a cable to my NEC 74-1 CD-ROM drive. I am having some device
contention probs which must be worked out. That is to say sometimes both sides
seem to want the SCSI bus at the sane time.
Arlen,
my Reveal VC500 works fine with my Bridgeboard, although it is a bit
more than you asked for since it's also a 24 bit graphics board.
