My 1000CS virtuality machine
- Thread starter Alpha1
- Start date
I still have it yeah - not turned it on in about 2 years - need to go check the battery if i'm honest. This was us turning it on and it booting up - unfortunately head tracking doesn't work as I am missing whatever is needed for it.
Alpha,
I dont have any spare parts, but from memory (as I`m at work now ), its connected in this order..
Transmitter ( from the ring ), has a `din` style connector to the main loom, just behind the rear cover.
This loom then takes the transmitter cable into the back of the Expality.
the Head tracker and Joystick tracker both go into the waist pack, that one cable from there to the unit contains all ( as is obvious ).
Its split up inside the waist pack, so the cables connecting to the Expality are L & R Visette ( that contains power, video, audio only) a joystick cable - that in this case I think only connects to the trigger & thumb button. The tracking are two cables, one for the visette, one for the joystick. they plug into the expality above the power point, with the transmitter just beneath them.
the joystick ports are about in the middle of the Expality, in my system it is joystick port 2 that is used.
Within the Expailty, the Joystick ports go to the format board ( the one you see above the amiga - with the transformer on it ), then from there to the amiga.
The L & R Visette, also go to the Format board. the amiga has connections to the format board for Video cards 1 & 2, as well as an amiga video connection.
the tracking goes direct to the Polhemus tracking PCB thats attached to the lid of the Expality, to sensor one and two, on the left of the board. The Tracker board then has a 90deg plug at the top of the board, that goes to the Format board.
The amiga also conects to the format board using its parallel port ( tho I maybe wrong - could be serial )
The tracker board is powered from the orange connection in the middle of the Format board.
I think that there is also a cable from the tracker direct to the amiga too, but I`m not sure on that one.
thats the best I can remember at the moment, but tonight I will take a real good look and draw it all up - and also make an edition of it that will incorporate my mods.
I hope that helps.

PS, if you dont have the service manual for this, let me know, and I can email it
