I just acquired a SPXgt card for my VS4000/60, and it
seems to be at least partially functional. However,
about 50% of the time I power up the machine I don't
get any picture. "TEST SP3D" always prints this:
?? 001 2 SP3D 0032
84 FAIL
What does that mean?
Q2. There's a socketed oscillator - 119 MHz IIRC,
what is this for? Changing the refresh rate?
If so, how high will it go (safely)?
Q3. I have another board, with the string "COUGAR SPX"
on it. It won't fit, however. It has a female Wide-
SCSI-like connector, but with more pins. What sort of
machine does this card belong in? I know Cougar is
the nickname of the VS4000/90, but I was under the
impression that this machine uses the same kind of
video board connector as the model 60 (Mariah).
