Hello John, Thank you for the offer but space considerations lead to the demise of my old QL-Compatible Monitor and the space I've gained by switching to LCD has long been taken up by other things. The LCD works well with Aurora so I don't really have an excuse to get another monitor specially for the QL's so they stay in the draw. I thought I may have cracked the QL monitor problem when I found a USB TV tuner on the flee market but the video input turned out not to like the QL composite video signal.
