New monitors on old machines

I've noticed a number of messages here recently where people are getting (IMHO) unfair criitism doing something in a particular way. For most (if not all) of us here, classic computers are a hobby. We work on them because we enjoy it. And nobody has the (moral) right to tell me what I should or should not enjoy. Period. All that's important in that respect is that my hobby does not adversely affect others. If somebody wants to spend many weeks designign and building something that thaey couuld buy ready-made for $100, that's their busienss. For some of us, $100 _is_ a considerable amount of money, not something we can spend without thinking about it. And yet we have plenty of time to tinker with such things. And of course the experience and education gained by designing and building something is often worth a lot. I can assure you that if I had a T2000 (I wish...) and didn't have the original monitor, I would not buy some undocuemtned [1] module to attempt to link up a more modern monitor. After all, that module was presumably not intneded to work at T2000 scan rates anyway, so it might not work correctly. No, I'd either design my oown scan converter, or modify a monitor to work at T2000 rates. [1] I have yet to see a 'scan doubler' that came with proper documentation. I'm not just moaning about a lack of schematics (as usual), but I've not even seen one that comes with proper specifications of the inputs and outputs. It's about as stupid as always having somebody else do the work and not learning anything about the problem or its solution. No thanks! -tony
