Exactly what the title says. The machine boots into the OS, and I know because I can eject a floppy with openapple-E. So everything is fine with the SOFTWARE....

Here's what I've done...

Zapped the pram

made sure the battery has 3.5 volts

checked the video cable

reseated the ram and vram

The only thing I can think of is it's the MAC -> VGA adapter I have on the thing. But I didn't change the settings of the DIP switches since the last time it worked... I dunno. Maybe the vram went bad? It just suddendely happened when I restarted it one time, I don't know what's going on.
