[comp.sys.mac.misc] vertical bars in Mac II monitor

isr@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Michael S. Schechter - ISR group account) (06/06/91)

One of 'my' Mac II's has developed a strange behaivor..
there's vertical bars in the display of all monitors.
in B/W mode, they're about 16 pixels wide with 16 pixels of
normal screen between them. Each 'bar' is a 50% gray pattern and runs
from top to bottom, obscuring the screen
In 8-bit mode they are about 4 pixels wide, with 4 normal pixels betwee them
and they are purple. (NOT std magenta).
swapping video cards, monitors, systems (6.07 distr.), hard disks, yields
no change in behaivor.. (oh yeah, also tried swapping cables&slots)
Anyone seen this before?
Is this something i culd do myself like a bad ROM or a common chip or
do i have to spring for a new board? (of course that means we just upgrade
to an FX !!)

Oh yeah, except for the strange video, it works fine...
