system: mac IIfx, apple 2 page video card & apple 3 page monitor 4 bit video memory on card all other nubus slots empty no INITS or cdevs except apples own problem: when the card is set to 2 bit mode, things seems OK.. when set to 4 bit gray scale, all menus turn to a white letter on gray instead of a normal black letters on white. the machine will also hangs on start up and requires a floppy start! i 'rescued' the system by reinstalling the system software 6.0.5 and staying within 2 bit mode. has anyone experienced similar problems? do i have a flaky video card? is there hardware incompatibility somewhere. Can anybody help? Andrew Watson, Maths Dept, Uni of Melbourne, Oz.
