Normal behavior?
I recently acquired a PAL IIe so I haven’t used it much. Plugging into a NTSC monitor I get greyscale as expected. I’m using a Ramworks with VGA extender for video and I upgraded it with enhanced ROMs & a 65C02. It passes the self test. It boots off
5.25” floppy disks normally.
What I tried that works:
MDT, Vulcan, Apple Rev C, Hi-Speed SCSI, Booti, CFFA 3000, Superdrive card. Problems with:
The Focus drive boots to the IIe startup screen and stalls there. If I do a Control-Reset and type PR#7 it boots up normally. Same with two different Focus cards. Tried different slots. With a Transwarp installed the Focus drives work normally. Ramfast
SCSI cards rev C & D lock up when searching the SCSI bus. If I start from a Ramfast utility disk I get to the Ramfast utility screen where it seems to lock up. On the Ramfast rev C I’ve tried with the DMA off.
I recall mention that some cards had problems with the PAL IIe. Wondering if this is one.
