wants to doesn't you can fix out of Hmm, I've got a 16" version of one of these which I use now and again - the picture quality is far superior to most of the junk out there these days (I guess these things almost hit the 10 year mark? I believe mine was dated around '92) They work well under Linux if you're prepared to do a bit of tweaking of video modes - no need for a special graphics board. I believe I got mine working under DOS a few years ago with an old Trident video board too - one of the larger-column text modes happened to work with it nicely. there's quite a bit of tweaking that can be done inside the monitor too (be careful, obviously) if you're prepared for a few hours of suffering! Maybe someone knows what the options are for converting a fixed-frequency monitor to multisync? (Tony??) - can this even be done, is it way too much trouble etc.? Presumably fixed-frequency and multisync monitors are 90% the same inside (at least in concept)? Certainly the big old workstation monitors I've seen inside of seemed to be nicely broken into stages... cheers Jules
