I used to use a Rage 128 in my S900, no problems. I had the version that did TV in, the TV tuner worked fine in OS 9 hooked to the cable TV outlet.Alan Kim wrote:
A remote possibility is the red gun (excuse the layman's term) going out on your monitor.
Failed soldering, etc. has caused this in the past with certain Apple branded monitors (I got a replacement out of a Apple recall) and it happened to a SONY 400PS (19"), which was replaced by SONY after the 3-year warranty had expired by about 2-3 weeks.
Symptom in both cases - screen turning green, which returned to normal sometimes if I gave it a good whack on the case.
So a quick check might be to connect the monitor to another computer to make sure it's ok.
I already tried that, and both monitors worked fine connected to an old PC. And I would think it was highly unlikely for both monitors to have the same exact problem at the same time. I looked at the back of the card and didn't find anything, so I shined a light underneath and saw a sticker on one of chips that said "Twin Turbo 128M/M2, Revision 3.7". From what I've read here, these Twin Turbo cards must be pretty much standard in Supermacs. I'd still like to know if the Rage 128 will work or not. I guess I could just try it and hope I don't irrepairably damage something.
