  • "IndivisionECSv2 hardware not found." but working and installed in A500 w/Vampire500 V2+ and 3.1.4 ROM

    In the spirit of continuing to take my A500 to the maximum I requested an Indivision ECS v2 for Christmas from my wife. It arrived and this morning I got it installed and quickly confirmed the VGA output was working on my Dell U2410f monitor. I am really excited to FINALLY have such a device for my 500!

    I downloaded the IndivisionECSv2 configuration tool to try to adjust the settings to get things a bit closer to the aspect ratio of display on my CRT. (The Dell has pitiful options for display adjustment beyond color options.) I believe the tool is the latest version at 1.6. When launched it displays "IndivisionECSv2 hardware not found. Continue?" The hardware is installed and working as I get a display both from the Amiga RGB port to my CRT TV and to the Dell through VGA. I read the docs that says the tool requires KS Rom 2.0... is this the minimum or does it only work with kickstart 2.0x?

    EDIT: I tried setting Workbench to run on NTSC Hires laced thinking that maybe the tool wanted the screen to be in a native Amiga mode but this made no difference. (I usually run Workbench in Picasso96 RTG through the Vampire HDMI.)

    Specs:
    Amiga 500 (OCS) with 1mb CHIP
    Vampire 500 v2+ core 2.10

    OS 3.1.4 (Rom patched into Vampire.)

    Thanks!
