I recently obtained a HCCS Multipodule card (with the Video Frame
Grabber on it). Can anyone tell me what the connections on the D-plug on
the back are (to get video in - I'm told that it should be "D connecter
to BNC", which I'm happy to make).
The other thing is can anyone say if it's possible to get a sound
sampler add on - I've heard there was one available, if anyones got one
for sale, and what capabilities it has...
Finally, can anyone send me a copy of the manual?

Cheers!

Ah, you picked that up at the show from the ARM club stand, didn't you?
:-) I saw it floating about.

Would this be the same as the Ultimate Expansion Unit I found
in the back of an A3010 I picked up recently?

If so how do you get the hard drive working, it gives me
Filecore errors, I've even tried the 60Mb drive from my
A4 in it with the same results, do I need software to
configure the card to the drive shape - like the Watford
ones do?

There are a few config commands that need entering:
*con. IDEFSDiscs 1
*con. IDEFSDrive 4
*con. IDEFSDelay 8
*con. IDEFSTimer 4
*con. IDEFSDirCache 32

Sorry only just spotted your NG posting

The D plug is a 15way BNC female

8 -------------------------------- Inner
15 -------------------------------- Outer

The manual was in electronic form I have two software versions and
a manual for each. Send me details of the software you have and I will
send the manual if its the correct one.

HiVision digitiser
and 24Vision Version 6

I also have a Ultimate CDROM unit but no interface for it. Any takers
of the CDROM or supplier of the interface.
