Got myself a QVSS video board that I'd like to run in my MicroVAX II,
but either it's configured incorrectly or it doesn't work. Anyone have
a manual scanned or a list of the dip-switch settings for this? I can't
find any useful info on the 'net.
Symptoms are that the Keyboard responds (beeps at power up, I can hear
the keyclick when I type, and the VAX seems to be responding to input)
but I get no video or sync on the monitor (a VR262). Monitor, keyboard,
and cable all work fine on my MicroVAX 2000, so something must be up
with the QVSS.
Thanks,
Josh

Ah, never mind -- was just taking a closer look at the board and found a
tiny tiny coax video connector on both the QVSS board and the bulkhead.
Looks like this must carry the video signal. Not sure what kind of
connector that is... anyone know? (I can provide pictures if necessary...)
Thanks,
Josh

Have you asked at Vetco? From memory I think I know what connector you're talking
about and I'm pretty sure I've seen it there. -- Ian

I'll check there, thanks for the suggestion. For the time being I
soldered on a pair of RCA connectors and have the bulkhead/QVSS
connected via a standard RCA cable (easily removed) and it appears to
work. So, huzzah!
