It seems to indicate a bad (or not compatible) adapter. Using the S-video adapter that came with my Lombard, I had no problems, TiBook and Lombard detect displays in a blitz. Trying a third part adapter yelded no success. Also note that adding an additional Scart/white-red-yellow to the chain (when the VCR does not have RCA "in" -I mean the yellow one- and you use the scart-in) disrupts the whole game, at least in my experience. cheers, gianfranco -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
