- Hi Folks,
-
- I've noticed a strange problems using my picasso II board with various
- applications. Here's my setup
-
- A3000 030/882 25MHz (2chip/8 fast)
- Picasso II w/2 meg of ram
- DKB3128 w/16 meg of ram
- MultiFaceIII
- 'couple of drives including CDROM and Zip.
-
- Anyway, so I was using AWEB on it's own public screen (a picasso 256 color
- screen, probably 640x480) and I use a 4 color interlaced NTSC workbench.
- Sometimes when I use AWeb like this and I try to switch back to my WB all
- I get is a blank screen. I can control-M back to the aweb screen and every-
- thing still works fine, but I can't get to my workbench without rebooting.
- This kinda sucks... actually, I can't get back to any non picasso screen.
- I do, however, hear that audible click the picasso gives off when it's
- making the switch from it's signal to the pass-thru. What I'm thinking is that
- the picasso switches off the amiga's normal display hardware (?) and for
- some reason is forgetting to switch it back on when I go to an NTSC screen.
- Is there a setting for this somewhere? Could it be a hardware problem? I
- recently replaced my U202 chip b/c of graphics dandruf on NTSC screens. It
- has yet to show me more dandruf (except for my paranoid dandruf sightings few
- and far between). Anyway, any and all help would be appreciated. I've even
- tried the picasso switch commodity with no success.
-
- Thanks much, and thanks for reading my ill compose paragraph.
- Matt
