videx softswitch not working

I have a II+ with a Videx and softswitch, but I cannot get the 40 column output on the videx output.  I have triple checked the installation and it all looks correct according to the manual.  When I activate the Videx, I get the 80 column output no problem?  Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Have you adjusted the

Have you adjusted the potentiometer on the soft switch daughtercard?

It regulates the 40 column video signal intensity.

 

Also, have you connected a good -5v supply to it?  And connected a jumper from the soft switch to the video output pin on the II+ motherboard's pin header?

It needs both +5V and -5V to work, although it should get the +15V from pin 16 of the 9334 chip it is supposed to be connected to.
