   Hi, I have a 4P, non gate array, 26-1080 with b&w monitor... its an early   
   one.   
      
   Anyway, it powers up but displays no visual.   
      
   Monitor is OK because it displays a raster if the brightness is turned up,   
   but there is no text no matter how much I move the contrast control around.   
      
   The rest of the machine appears to work because if I boot with a ModelA/III   
   file disk you can hear it stepping thru its tracks and then the usual reboot   
   at the end of the process.   
      
   A TRSDOS 6 disk sounds like its booting to track 1, however typing 11/11/87   
   for the date doesn't seem to have any (hidden) effect.   
      
   Any ideas where to start?   
      
   Thanx   
      
   Ian.
