It should work without BIOS setting. Is the message "Loading DOS..." still displayed? After the initial screen with the memory check there maybe a switch of display mode. Did you try to readjust your monitor? Have seen this with my ET3000. After connecting another monitor the image was there..

it should work. its likely your dip switches are wrong. can we get a good image of the card and of the switches?

First image is a picture of the same card -- but not mine -- so the DIP switches are in a different position on it.

Never reaches DOS. It doesn't drop the signal either, since selecting D-SUB input doesn't give a "Cable not connected".

- VGA Configuration -
(VGA-Card as primary Adapter, MDA-Card as secondary Adapter)

Switch Setting !! Type of Display attached and Initial Mode Selection
----------------++--------------------------+-------------------------------
SW1 SW2 SW3 SW4 !! Primary Display ! Secondary Display
================++==========================================================
on off off off !! Color 80x25 (IBM 85xx) ! Monochrome (IBM 5151) or None
----------------++--------------------------+-------------------------------
off off off off !! Multisync analog Monitor ! Monochrome (IBM 5151) or None

and neither work... as soon as it loads to DOS I do get a pop-up from the monitor OSD saying "Suggested resolution..." ...perhaps this video card simply does not work with LCD monitors.

I suppose it is possible. I've been spoiled by high quality multisync monitors.

Do you have any other monitors?

I do. However, I just reloaded optimized defaults for BIOS, then reset data configuration in PNP/PCI settings where it automatically assigned several IRQs to Legacy and now it works -- I'm using SW1 on and the rest off.

Thanks again for that link -- much appreciated.
