Actually, the intensity is turned all of the way up because that is
where it happened to be when I connected everything up. I was so focused
on whether DOS had booted that it didn't even click in my head that I
could adjust the monitor to make it easier to read. I didn't notice that
I had things turned all the way up or even notice the retrace lines
until later when I looked at that picture.

It looks like you turned the intensity up so far that the retrace didn't
get blanked fully. Not much choice about that given the bad screen, I suppose. Finally, a VR201 specific question. I booted
the Rainbow over the
weekend and, looking through broken-down PVA, I could see the
Rainbow has booted and I could enter DOS commands. I could also
see white retrace lines. What is the likely cause of that on a
35-year-old CRT?
Pics?
Here is an attempt to use Facebook for image hosting here. If it doesn't
work, I will put the image up on a real image hosting site.
