My Model 4P is finally booting, thanks to some aboveground repairs to the floppy drives and Ira’s generous floppy disk service, but it does this in 80 column mode:
In 64-column mode, it works fine:
I’ve adjusted the capacitor on the front of the logic board, and this is as good as it gets. The picture in 64 col is rock-solid, no flickering, no rolling, no tearing.
Onboard RAM test passes. Can’t run Model 3/4/4P diagnostics disk (Model 3 ROM images consistently fail CRC check, a separate issue that I’ve been advised may b due to misaligned floppy drives).
Where should I start looking?
