When all the four 200SBi are linked together, the output video is redirect to the Mercury AAlchemy Module (the top controller board) so you must connect the the VGA I/O ports to the module or you must have the Mercury I/O PCB connector that gives three outputs: VGA, S-Video and Composite, just like the 200SBi does.

When a Mercury Brick is assembled, the output from any of the four 200SBi cards is disabled.

no!
on my all four card outputs a picture

you mean pin 9 of the d-sub 15 connector?
for a monitor it is not connected

Good to know. But since He wasn't able to display picture trough the normal output of the 200SBi cards, I thinked to notice to him that was normal, as stated also in the Gary's site:

External VGA connector- Required as the video output connectors on the cards are as dead as a doornail since all rendering output is directed through the AA module up top.
