He may have been referring to my post, in which I said that I needed to 
attach a monitor cable converter to fool my OS8.x box into thinking it 
had a monitor attached. If I recall correctly, this was needed not to 
boot, but to be able to export a display via Timbuktu. It was a Q650, 
which came with two video ports, and the converter was connected to the 
video card, not the onboard port.
