Picasso II ports

[Tenacious]

I acquired a Picasso II not too long ago on eBay and it works in an A3000. It came, however, without docs, disks, or cables. I was able to install Picasso96. So, it works well. Reading through another thread, it seems that the second VGA port is an input. Did the PII ship with a cable to tie the Amiga 3000 video back into the PII to display native video modes? Was there also one for the 23-pin video output of the A2000? A flicker fixer?

A xerox copy or scan of the manual would be very useful, if some one could help me out. I think the cable could be easily made (probably straight through pins) if that second port functions as an input.

A straight VGA-cable will do the trick if you have FF.

Yep, it's a straight-through port. Just plug the A3000's video out into the Picasso's second port.

As to original equipment, I believe the card shipped with a very short VGA cable (to minimize clutter) for just such a connection. Amigas with only the 23pin ports still had to use the Commodore VGA adaptor. I suppose a custom 23->15pin cable would also work.
