thank a lot. this solved my problem, card was set to 70 Hz instead of 60 Hz
suitable for Sony GDM 1601/8. now it is working fine, i did it through serial
console.

but.. (yes, another but ;)) i got this machine without any keyboard. connector
looks like PC DIN one but has more pins, i have no DIN keyboard here now to
test it so i want to ask if it will work and if not, what for a keyboard i
need to have (or is there any hack possible?), thanks

regards,
