I didn't think of suggesting this in my last posting. 8-)

On a Sparc 20 board, there are two VSIMM locations. The first VSIMM *must*
be inserted in the second slot back from Sbus connectors. If a
second VSIMM is fitted, it goes into the slot immediately closest to Sbus
connectors.

You can actually use the VSIMM fitted in the slot closest to the Sbus
connectors but to get any video output you've got to have a 501-2488
auxilliary video board fitted as well. The normal VSIMM locations sends
video to the D13W3 connector on the motherboard.

Regards,

Craig.
