    I would appreciate any advice leading to a solution to the
    following problem.

    I have a Mac II with the Apple 8*24 bit video card and an Apple
    13" color monitor (and a B/W monitor and card to watch what is going on).
    When I boot with System + Finder (6.0.4 or 6.0.5) the color
    monitor stays black but I can use the B/W monitor.  When I boot
    with System + Finder + 32-bit Color Quickdraw (from the 6.0.5
    distribution) the color monitor works fine but everything freezes
    up right at the end of the boot sequence.

    I know the color monitor and 24 bit card are OK since I can run
    them in my Mac IIci without any hitches.  And obviously the Mac II is OK.

    Does anyone have any ideas about how to proceed?  Is it even
    possible to use a Mac II with the 24 bit video card?
