6100 no video- (was Re: [rescue] OpenBSD)

[Eric Johnson]

If this doesn't solve the problem, I have an unused 6100/60 (or maybe 66)
laying around that I could send to you (either the whole thing or just the
MB). I believe that I also have the PDS to NuBus converter board for it.

we were beginning to form up into teams, we would
be reorganized. I was to learn later in life we
tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing,
and a wonderful method it can be for creating the
illusion of progress while producing confusion,
inefficiency and demoralization.
