I agree, Ive got an old Rasterops and I love it. I would look on the back of the monitor and there should be some designations for the brand and model number of the tube. mine is Sony GDM 1950 and look on the web for what fixed frequency monitor refresh rates are for this tube. Set your VGA-mac adapter to correct setting (griffin or i have old umax)
Also I would suggest to open her up and tweak the potentiometers. I did this and it really cleaned up any blurry edges and areas within the pciture screen. Be careful in doing this make small tweaks. My rasterops also has potentiometers on the inside to set general Vertical hold and Horizontal hold too. This may be your last step in getting a good picture. I have had trouble with ATI video cards reading and matching this fixed frequency monitor. (i bought and returned radeon 700 mac) I use the onboard video supplied from Apple on my PM8600 good luck!

Need a card to drive it (usually). Or one of Griffin's adapters. Look on epay for Radius, PCI and the like. Ought to be able to find one that will drive it for <$50.
