I believe our issues are different. I have tried multiple machines
with multiple power supplies with no noticeable difference. As for the
monitor, it still works fine and was working great with the CB before
this recent problem.

It could be that you have a board that has a malfunction, about 50
were made and I think the FPGA's were hand soldered.

I just tried the CB again on a large SVGA monitor.  Lights are on,
monitor says it's receiving signal, but no video.

Switch to the main computer, with bigger SVGA.  CB startup menu is
displayed.

I'm setting up a better workstation for CB development.  Logic
Analyzer is on its way in the mail, and I have a desk cleared off with
oscilloscope and IIe on it.  I pick up a SVGA LCD today as well.

A malfunctioning card is certainly what I have. I am still waiting to
her back from Steve regarding a fix.

Good luck with your projects.

Here is the ridiculously simple solution to my problem: CLEAN THE
CONTACTS ON THE SD CARD CONNECTOR.

Steve emailed me directly and asked me to try this before sending the
card back to him. I have to say I was very skeptical, but it worked.
I haven't tried flashing the card yet, but I can't see any reason why
it wouldn't work now. It does seem strange that dirty SD card
connectors would bring the entire card to it's knees.

More contact intermittency...

Now you see why designers regard sockets as evil.  ;-)
