I have been using my Toby Frame Buffer card in my Quadra 700. Well as
you may remember, I have video sync problems with the card and Color X
(It scrambles my screen upon loading color X). I read that others
were having better luck with the Apple High Res Display card. Well I
got out my apple High Res card and put it into my machine. I started
the Booter App (Version 1.10 but get info says 1.9.8) and selected
Boot Now. The app then crashes with a error type 10 and then it gives
you a single option to Restart. Any Ideas??
I also tried another apple card, the only Identification on it says :
'820-0600-A Macintosh Display Card 670' this card actually starts
the boot process but it fails somewhere around video initialization
with a bunch of debug info. After rebooting with my Toby Card, it is
impossible to boot Netbsd unless I go into the filesystem with the
installer and replace the kernel with a fresh version.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on? Sorry I don't have the
debug info, but it is a pain replacing the kernel everytime.
Thanks for all of your help.
