I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but it sounds like the IIsi simply is not delivering enough power to the video card, which is not at all unusual (it's NuBus slot delivers below-spec power). Check this out:
http://www.lowendmac.com/roadapples/iisi.shtml "However, the IIsi power supply, perfectly adequate for normal use, may be inadequate if you install a different hard drive, a video card, or a PDS card (such as an accelerator). The NuBus slot in the IIsi is rated at just 13.3W, less than many high resolution or 24-bit cards require. The PDS is rated at just 7W. The normal hard drive draws 6W; if you replace it with a higher-draw drive, power to the NuBus slot or PDS is reduced accordingly." -- Nathan Raymond On Sun, 9 May 2004, Nat wrote: > Yeah, I just checked on the Quadra 800 and there are no control panels or > system extensions whatsoever for the Radius video card on the startup disk > (or any other disk, for that matter). > > One of the first things I did was check the Monitors control panel on the > Mac IIsi, and it does *NOT* list the two video cards as monitors 1 and 2. > IT only lists monitor 1-- the internal video. > > Since I am installing this onto a Macintosh IIsi, there *IS* only one > expansion slot so I'm not sure how I can "move" it to a seperate slot, > unless we are talking about logical "slots" and not physical slots. > > -Nat -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
