    IICX Restore - Graphics issue

    thanks so much for your help. I guess the next step would be to put the scope on various parts of the card but I'm just lost as far as what to look for. I did order another video card. Just couldn't help myself 50 bucks on eBay so that will definitely narrow things down. hopefully that card...

    IICX Restore - Graphics issue

    this card is the "BCGM0322 high resolution display video card". Everything I've read indicates it is compatible with the Apple M1212 monitor. I know that the monitor is functioning correctly because the guy I bought it from demonstrated it for me a few days ago and it was fine. again, the boot...

    tried a boot floppy and it definitely stays in the drive and makes all the correct sounds like it's loading the operating system. However, still white screen on the monitor.

    IICX Restore - Graphics issue

    I have not tried to boot floppy but I will tomorrow. I'm so used to working on SE's and SE/30's that it didn't occur to me that these might behave differently without a startup disk. if that's not it, I will definitely look into the 74 series logic chips.

    IICX Restore - Graphics issue

    OK also I'm gonna check the Nuchip and nubus slots with the scope. Any idea which pins I would need to check specifically? If not I can go through the schematic.

    IICX Restore - Graphics issue

    good point. Will do this week but I need to order more caps unfortunately. Any chance these will at least run without caps like an SE 30? doesn't even have the axials.

    actually I do have another spare IICX board. It just doesn't have any caps on it at the moment.

    Recapped Power Supply is putting out 5.1 v and 11.94 v. floppy drive is also working flawlessly with cleaning and new eject gear. Ejects blank disk on boot.

    Apple Extended Keyboard [AEK Numero Uno] - Great Keyboard? Or *Greatest* Keyboard?

    IICX Restore - Graphics issue

    What is this heresy ChatGPT is talking about?? Could there be any truth to this? never heard of such a thing. it's true, I haven't attached a startup disk yet. If all was working correctly, I should expect a cursor and flashing ? ... shouldn't I? ----- Your suspicion about bad VRAM chips isn't...

    IICX Restore - Graphics issue

    I recently got a IICX DOA from eBay. Recapped the logic board, graphics card, power supply and floppy drive. Cleaned it up, put it all back together and thankfully got a nice boot chime with no issues other than the fact that I'm just getting a blank white screen on the monitor. I noticed when I...
