  • 8513 Color Display
  • 8514 Color Display


Installation Procedure

  1. "Copy an Options Diskette", add @80B3.adf to Refdisk or System partition.
  2. Install M-MVA in 16 or 32 bit AVE slot. B ase video comes from VGA / XGA / XGA-2
  3. Connect monitor to Base Video [planar/card], but don't connect any cables to M-MVA.
    All setup screens will be visible and M-MVA palette registers will be correctly initialized.
  4. Run Configuration and save. Reboot and run system programs again.
    Select Set Configuration > Change Configuration. Choose 8515 for better display quality.

Reboot system and run software installation [INSTALL] program. It will install a program, MMVAINIT, that performs routines that initialize the M-MVA.

Note: MMVAINIT must be run every time the PS/2 system is powered on or reset, otherwise palette registers may contain incorrect colors.

Connect Cables and Monitor to M-MVA

  1. Connect DB-37 to M-MVA
  2. Unplug monitor from base video and attach it to HDD15 on M-MVA cable.
    Note: Connect monitor to M-MVA after it has been installed and configured.
  3. Plug VGA Terminator to Base Video
    Note: Fakes having a color monitor attached, otherwise all Base Video will be B/W.

System Board Video Termination

For color output, a VGA Terminator plug MUST be installed in the system board display connector. Otherwise, the PS/2 VGA adapter will not recognize that a color display is attached to the M-MVA, and all VGA and video output will be displayed in monochrome (B&W). (Ed. Does this apply to a Base Video adapter like the XGA-2?)


Terminator for M-MVA (from Brad Parker)

This is the terminator that came with an M-motion adapter. I suspect that it would work equally well with the ATi GUP or any other auxiliary video card. Probably keeps the video drive amps on the unused card from going into oscillation.

The terminator requires three 75 ohm 1/4 watt resistors. As 75 ohms can be difficult at times to find, rest easy in knowing that the originals have a 20% tolerance, so any 5% tolerance or better resistor with an impedance between 63 and 100 ohms should work.

The resistors are wired in parallel between each color's drive pin and it's respective ground. In addition, the terminator keys the monitor ID to 0 by having a jumper between the 0 ID pin and digital ground. (Monitor Presence Detect ID=0); which together with opens on Pins 4, 12, and 15 (MPDID 1, 2, and 3) ensures that the system thinks an 8512 or 8513 (640x480 analog color only) monitor is attached.

Use a 15 pin male VGA connector and hood. The component values are as follows: R1-R3 75 ohm 20% 1/4 watt resistor J1 Insulated 24 gauge single conductor wire.

Connect as follows:

 Pin                Pin
  1 ----^v^v^v^v---- 6
  2 ----^v^v^v^v---- 7
  3 ----^v^v^v^v---- 8
 10 ---------------- 11 (shorted, in words)

Note the original unit has shrink tubing on the resistor leads - Not a bad idea. An alternate technique would be to just plug in any old monitor on the base video VGA output. Of course that takes up a bit of physical desktop.


Description

The M-Motion Video Adapter/A is a full-frame buffer that adds audio and video to the Personal System/2 system units with Micro Channel architecture.  This adapter is capable of receiving Composite Video (3 PAL (R)/NTSC or 2 SVHS) and produces a corresponding video CS output signal to synchronize the input video sources.  The CS output is fully compatible with CCIR standards at line periods of 64 us and 63.555 us. The CS output voltage is compatible with TTL levels, terminated into 75 Ohms. Composite Sync (CS) output is available to synchronize up to three compatible video input sources at the same time.

Features and characteristics

  • Full control of digitized video via M-Control Program/2 software. The digitized video images can be sized, captured, stored, and  recalled from the PS/2 workstation.
  • Full control of output video (contrast, hue, brightness) via software.  Output video and the VGA text and graphics are interchangeable and can be overlaid via software.
  • Video output fully compatible with PS2 VGA display connection and fully compatible with all high resolution VGA modes (640 and 720 horizontal pels).  Limited support is provided with low  resolution modes (320 or 360 horizontal pels).  This adapter requires the Micro Channel expansion card slot with video extension.
  • The capability to produce stereo audio output at high quality from two stereo analog audio programmable inputs.  The input line audio can also be digitized and played back at FM quality levels. Full control of audio output (volume, treble, bass, and balance) is available via software.

Adapter Interrupt 
   This adapter uses a hardware interrupt which may be shared with another adapter, but for maximum performance the interrupt should not be shared. If it must be shared, share with the interrupt which has the least activity.  This adapter interrupts at a rate of 50 to 60 times per second when enabled. Note: Some adapters label interrupt 9 as interrupt 2.  If another adapter is using interrupt 2 and you choose interrupt 9, you will be sharing interrupt 9 with that adapter.
          <Interrupt 3> or 9
