Time for some follow up.

Apparently it doesn't like my VGA adapters, or the cables, or LCD monitors. The same applies to my Duo Dock now. Now the green is shifted oddly with the Dock in addition to the IIfx fading issues. I thought I had two bum units!

So after getting a little pissed, I plugged in an Apple Multiscan 15 around from a free pick up I did a week ago. Didn't even know it worked but physically it is in decent shape. It didn't explode when plugged in or make weird sounds, so I plugged it into the Duo Dock. Perfect picture.

Alright, so it works and has good video now.

Tested the IIfx, works perfectly.

WTF

Well now it has to either be the monitors or the adapters. But the same setup worked fine on an Acer monitor and the Dock for a while, but then it went green. The IIfx worked fine with an adapter and a different Widescreen Acer LCD and never had an issue.

I'll say that these old computers are picky!

I hate CRT's but I'll be holding onto this oldie for a while. At least I know the video is not fried on both units!
