maybe I should just leave it running for a while and see if it does

Ctrl, both Apple keys, Reset I think.
Thanks - that worked! It dropped right into a sensible (and monochrome)
test, not the screen full of colored squares that I get with no keyboard at
all plugged in - which makes me think that the latter is something else
(possibly just outright confusion / incomplete power-on sequence)
I'll put
it on the to-do list to try and find a monitor for it (it works
great with my big LCD TV, but it'd be nice to have something vintage to
live with it permanently - although I did get an Applecolor RGB CRT with
the IIgs machines, but I have a feeling that doesn't support composite
video input).
If it's the one I think it is (12 inch or so GS-specific monitor)
Yes, that seems like the one.
it's RGB only.
Rats. I saw several IIe-era monitors (and IIe systems, Disk II drives
etc.) in a dumpster less than an hour ago, but wasn't allowed to take
anything - I expect they're off to the crusher. :-(
cheers
