Does "anymore" mean that it was working at some point?
Yes. But some commit somewhere broke it. But nobody has yet to find the breaking point.
That's good news, I guess. :) Would you have any idea whatsoever of any time it did work? If so, I could much more easily look for when it broke.
That would be great. I'd just like to ask if anyone has any docs on it or something?
Yeah... I've got some somewhere... Let me look. Somebody send me a copy a while ago.
It would be great if I could get a copy!
-- I don't really know how all this VGA stuff works. When is the monitor supposed to be turned on, and what code is it that takes care of that stuff?
Well most of the time it dosen't. :) VGA is always the last thing because it tricky to get going. RAM has to happen first.
I was actually under the impression that the video card might turn itself on without CPU intervention. :)
Use the serial link. Are you getting any serial output?
No, not yet. I've only been trying for a couple of hours yet and have been overly optimistic. Therefore I haven't yet built myself a null modem cable. I'll get my hands on a couple of D-Subs first thing I do tomorrow. It's getting late right over here now.
Thank you very much for all your help so far!
