I installed an 8*24GC video card on my Mac II and could not make it work. 
I then installed the card on a Mac IIcx and the card worked perfectly. 
(All the appropriate software was installed on both machines.)

So, I suspect that my Mac II is the problem. This is a very early machine, 
purchased shortly after intro in April '87. It must have the "bad" ROMs 
and probably has the PMMU socket with the missing pins. Could either of 
these be the problem with the 8*24GC failing to work? If so, will/can an 
authorized Apple dealer still replace the motherboard for free?
