[rescue] video problems and bent pins on mbus module

Hey,

	I recently bought an SS20 that came with a bunch of stuff.
However, I could not get the video to work on two PC monitors using the
supplied 13W3->VGA converters. I tried both the supplied video card, the
onboard video to no avail. Should I get another converter, or is it a
problem with the ss20? I'm going to try a null modem connection
tomorrow, when I'm able to buy the cable.

	Anyway, in my zeal to try all the supplied mbus modules, I bent
the pins on a supersparc II module:( Only one pin is bent, but it's bent
backwards pretty good. It's still connected, though. Does anyone have
suggestions on how to salvage the card? Thanks.

	I hope these questions aren't too absurdly simple. I just got
the machine today, so I'm rather new at this.
