Man... I'm about ready to chuck this game out the window.

I got the original NTSC card working (the one that was in Cliff Hanger).
It's in B/W not color -- no matter what adjustments I make.

Now the friggin' PC graphics aren't outputting. (Something stupid here
as it's the same with two CH ZPUs I have).

No wonder they're so pricey... Very rare to find one. Even MORE rare to
find one working!!
