There is the merit of learning how to do something. No, I for one can't blow a c-note everyday on whatever I feel like either. If some of these things had a seperate "video" input, I can see them accepting 15.75khz. But if we're talking about the 15 pin connection, what would be the reason for constructing the thing to take it there? And it occurred to me, some of these modern multisyncs, though probably a long shot, might wind up being able to accept 26.4khz. There's nothing saying they'd automatically crap the bed as soon as it sees 31.499999999khz. But like I said, if any did, they'd probably be few and far between. And we are talking about a single that isn't too far off. I'm not privy to the way a thing "decides" if a signal is kosher or not (and of course it's ability to work with certain frequencies has to do with the tolerance of the individual components), but perhaps they could be tweaked to accept something a tad lower, but keep in mind the previous parenthetical info. Push it too hard and you might see a few sparks. ______________________________________________________________ ______________________ Cheap Talk? Check out Yahoo!
