Hi,
I have a problem with my 5150:
Because the top and bottom borders on the 5151 monitor where quite big I decided to adjust them with the internal "Vertical Size" potentiometer. This worked really well and I didn't change anything else. (For "Horizontal Size" there doesn't seem to be a similar control.)
I "tested" it with about 15 minutes of Tetris and then somethings happened, but I can't remember if the picture froze or went just dark.
Anyhow - when I now restart the computer (without my "XT CF LITE 4.1" harddisk emulator installed) it beeps once - as usual - and seems boot properly from disk and when I later enter "dir a:" or "dir b:" the drives react as they should, BUT I don't see anything on the screen - no cursor - nothing.
So it would seem that the monitor or graphic card has a general problem.
But now comes the strange part!: If the "XT CF LITE" is installed, it seems to boot from that as well without problem, but at that moment there comes an output on the screen - sharp and clear in the first line:
Nothing before that and nothing after that and after about 10 seconds this line disappears as well. That baffles me to a certain extent.
My plan now is to get a second graphic card and compare the behaviour. Does maybe anybody have another idea?
