Better than throwing the monitor off a bridge into a river, I suppose, 'specially since it's illegal ;-) >If you're sure it's not a resolution problem, and you're familiar with >the dangers of opening and working inside a monitor, both of the above, no problemo! I've got umpteen zillion wrist straps from previous jobs ready, and that much I can handle.

That's one reason I'm still keeping it on the PCI P-macs list. If anyone can point me to a URL for help with the beast, I'd appreciate it. >Isn't the 1710 the weird one that requires an extension and ADB >connected for it to run? I recall reading about them having all >kinds of problems. The 1710 I'm running at home (with my 7200/SonnetG3/400) had a bent pin in its ADB connection, but it ran without it. As soon as I straightened the pin and hooked it up correctly -- whammo! -- the AppleVision software worked beautifully. It has noticeable burn-in from System 7.x (I can see the great big question mark Apple Help when the lights in my room are out). Hope this post helps the list, and more help needed, please, on breaking into the beast. Since I'm armed correctly with grounding material (I ain't plugged in the beast in a long time), I'm ready to go. I don't want to throw it into the river or (selfishly) "free for pickup" to the Swaplist... yet. Thanks, and peace.... -- Cheers!
