While debugging SCSI I noticed that there was another
board sitting
"over" the mainboard on my VS3100. When I run 'Test 50' is shows up as
'? SPGFX xxx.xxx' which, I'm guessing, is a color graphics board and
there is something wrong with it. (the '?')
I believe so... either 4- or 8-plane color
Does this mean that there is simply no monitor
attached?
Is this frame buffer compatible with the QDSS?
Can't answer
Was there ever a "skunk box" version of the
QDSS? (I found some "right
angle" QDSS cables that would work in a BA213 but I didn't think there
was ever an S-box cab kit for the QDSS.
There was no skunk box version of the board (meaning it has the
S-box handles)... but there is a skunk-box version of the
break-out panel so that one can be used... I have one such
unit on my uVaxIII at home... works just fine...
And yes, the cable with the right-angle connector is required,
otherwise the cabinet front won't close...
