For some time now my Commodore Colt with a Video Seven VGA-16D card in it has had an intermittent problem. Sometimes when turned on there would be no video. Usually turning it off and back on would cause it to work. Friday it wouldn't come on so I tried cleaning the card edge of the card, switching cables and monitors, and finally playing with the display switches on the back of the computer. That seemed to fix it. Tried it Saturday and couldn't get it to work at all. I have a DTK XT-Turbo with a old OAK Technologies 8 bit card in it. The Video Seven is an 8/16 bit card. So I pulled the card out of the DTK and installed it in the Colt. Works great! So I put the video seven card in the DTK figuring it wouldn't work. It works perfectly. I have periodically booted both computers and they have continued to work.
Anybody her have an idea as to what is going on? I am happy right now, but fear an impending failure.
