I am trying to revive an LC II because my iMac usb floppy drive can't seem to recognize 800k disks.
I don't have access to the 12in monitor that came with the thing and I have it connected (via a stubby converter plug) to a 15in SVGA monitor. When i turn it on, the monitor light stops blinking (meaning its getting some kind of signal) but there is no image. I also tried this with a monochrome POS monitor and got the same result. I am sure that the PRAM battery is dead, but jury-rigging in a lithium coin-cell did no good. I tried booting from a floppy, the disk reads, and I think it actually boots fully, but no picture.
SPECS: LCII (w/ LCIII case), mobo ram only, no additional video ram.
How can I get video out of this unit?
