the new card is a TurboGX so i can get color graphics.
looks like the people who designed it left their names on the circuit board. i guess some of them are crossed out because they left the team?
aaand i get a black screen. that's odd.
@tubetime probably bruce's fault
@furan always bruce's fault
hmm, maybe my adapter board (configured for H/V sync) will not work with this card that puts out CSYNC only.
no CSYNC comes out. checked it with a scope. OK, maybe the monitor sense pins being floating is a problem? i think it should still come up even with nothing (1152x900 66Hz).
that wasn't it either. no change.
@penguin42 only with PROM 2.0 or greater, it wouldn't have worked on the old card. but yeah i could do a dual monitor setup now lol.
