That's what I like to hear.

The 2 systems are configured: 

Rom 01 has a RAMfast scsi, 4 meg Ram and the Second Sight card;

Rom 03 has Apple High Speed scsi, 4 meg Ram (different card from above,
same manufacturer), Second Sight (same card, moved from Rom 01), PCT,
TransWarp.

The symptoms are the same on both systems:

With the Second Sight card installed and enabled, the vga image seems to
have the colours inverted; the blue desktop appears pink, the black text
appears white and, if i remember right, some colours don't show at all.

Once in awhile the image will appear almost correct and at least readable.

Someone has suggested via e-mail that interference from the IIGS power
supply could be a problem and I plan to check that out.

Thankyou for your suggestion(s) and keep 'em coming, I'm very impressed
with the card when I've seen it perform properly and would like to get
the same results on one of these systems.
