Henry, you were correct! I attached a composite monitor and now see a
beautiful animation telling me I don't have a startup disk.
Is the onboard RGB repairable or am I looking at a custom chip that is hard
to come by? I would hate to have to use a TV and not my Apple monitor. The
TV would ruin the whole aesthetic of the IIgs to be honest.
