Re: Fixed Frequency Monitors

["M. Neidorff" <neidorff bellatlantic net>]

Hi Mike,

I have a similar monitor (at least without checking the model #) that I 
tried to use with a DECstation 2500 computer running 
ultrix.  (Pssst.  Wanna buy a unix workstation...cheep?? Its got 2 SCSI 
expansion units with a total of 4/5Gig of storage, 96Mg ram and an ethernet 
interface.)  I got the monitor working under windows also, but the monitor 
does not have a text mode PERIOD so there is no solution to that 
problem.  Since this is a fixed freq. monitor work very carefully with the 
X config (or you might blow it up).  If you want more, I have 2 monitors (a 
17" and a 15") sitting here ready to be taken.

Good luck,
