Hi.
I need a VFC-/ VAFC-/ VMC-to-DVI converter/circuit.
There are DVI Frame Grabbers which are able to capture screens/animations from graphics cards with DVI output - in any state of the computer.
Even while setting up the BIOS or booting the OS.
For example there are following DVI Frame Grabbers :
Unigraf 's UFG-01, UFG-03: http://www.unigraf.fi/index.php?page=64
or
Foresight Imaging 's AccuStream 170: http://www.unigraf.fi/index.php?page=64
I do not talk about getting BIOS screenshots just using emulators like:
-VMware
-VirtualPC
or just using BIOS programs* like the BIOS simulators/emulators:
-BIOSview
-Ami BCP for Windows ( AMIBCP8 )
I already did it, but there are many BIOSes which do not have simulators/emulators.
(*= go to: and you can download:
the - the most complete and famous BIOS tool collection.
It contains the mentioned BIOS emulators/simulators and much more BIOS related (modification)-utilities.
->google: "" too :) )
Here are the screenshots I could take while using:
VMware, VirtualPC, Award 's / Phoenix 's BIOSView, AMIBCP for Windows ( AMIBCP8 ) :
AMI BIOS screenshot
AwardBIOS 4.51
PhoenixBIOS
Phoenix - AwardBIOS 6
Well, there are many problems.
VFC/VAFC/VMC is not really compatible with DVI and I would like to grab the AMI WinBIOS (BIOS setup utility with GUI and Mouse support)
The AMI WinBIOS mainboards I have, do not support PCI graphics cards.
This means:
I cannot use PCI graphics cards with DVI output.
Only ISA cards and their VFC (Video Feature Connector) can be used to get digital lossless graphics data, but it is not DVI.
( There are three different kinds of Feature connectors:
-Video Feature Connector (VFC)
-VESA Advanced Feature Connector (VAFC)
-VESA Media Channel (VMC) )
Furthermore I would like to grab more processes on ISA-Boards.
So, I would feel more than happy and lucky, if anyone could help to build a:
VFC-/ VAFC-/ VMC-to-DVI converter/circuit.
Conclusion:
A VFC-/ VAFC-/ VMC-to-DVI converter/circuit is really important and necessary.
