I finally got around to putting together a cable to connect my
Amiga 1000 to my NEC Multisync II.
 
Before I did the final soldering, I used jumpers to test my
other connections.  I turned on the monitor and the A1000, and
right on the screen came the "insert Kickstart" message.  I
assumed that that meant it worked, powered everything down,
finished the cable, and hooked it up.
 
As before, I got the "... Kickstart" message.  But after
installing Kickstart and hearing the disk get read, instead of
getting the "insert Workbench" message, the screen went blank.  I
installed Workbench anyway, and it seemed to do exactly what it
should, but the monitor was black.  It repeated this 12 times
in exactly the same place, so I don't think it's a connection
problem (but what do I know?).
 
While I'm somewhat happy that the game worked, that's not the
only thing I want to do with my Amiga!  Can anyone clue me in on
what I did wrong?  I'd appreciate any feedback.  I'm using
Kickstart 1.2,.
 
Thanks for listening.
