We only support the IIsi when it has internal video. That's not to say
you can't use external video, but the internal video needs to be
active. A paperclip over the monitor sense pins will work just fine.
MacOS re-aranges the memory map when there's no internal video monitor,
and we don't deal with that map.
Take care,
