Hi

I do not have a DVI but your question raised my curiosity……

Do you have a copy of the DVI service manual (hopefully the link works):
http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/pdf/Tandy/Disk%20Video%20Interface%20Service%20Manual.pdf

 The service manual has some operational descriptions of how the DVI is 
supposed to work for both the screen and FDC.  There is also a very brief 
section on the protocol to get you started on your quest to reverse engineer 
the interface.

In terms of the PI remember it is 5V intolerant.  If you connect the system bus 
to the PI directly it will destroy the PI.  The interface needs to have level 
shifters to convert from the 5V world of the system bus to 3.3V world of the 
PI.  So it adds a little twist to the interface design.

A guy walks in to the doctor's office.
He says:
"Doctor, I have the impression that people are constantly ignoring me."
The doctor says:
"NEXT!"

[..]

Could anybody with a DVI perform the following test:
- start the DVI & the monitor
- start the Model T without the DOS
- in BASIC, type SCREEN 1,1
Does the DVI react ?

If it does, I have my answer. Next thing to do, is start scanning codes with a 
Raspberry Pi hooked up to the I/O bus of the Model T.

Video expansion? Do you mean you want a Disk/Video Interface?

The DVI uses the system bus.
