As you may have read, I don't believe a single word of it. SO I TELL YA WHAT- As soon as my workload decreases somewhat, I will take the time to get the "Batman" snippet running on my SS24X, and cycle it, 5 mins/at a time, thru some subset of the clock dividers, for enough of the values at the extremes and we'll just see. Hell, I'll even leave my monitor connected. Give me two weeks. I still don't see how any USABLE (and I'm real damn sure about unusable) monitor sync frequency generated could be outside the Pd range of a chip *designed* for that purpose. Don't believe the hype. -Kenny -- Kenneth R. Crudup, Contractor, OSF DCE QA OSF, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142 +1 617 621 7306 kenny@osf.osf.org OSF has nothing to do with this post.
