Are you saying you can install an Apple EPROM chip on a Twin Turbo card and that your Mac display port then acts as though it were from a card that the regular Apple video extensions can handle? Does your theory on VGA port problems mean it is possible that connecting to the Mac display port through an adapter might solve the occasional-lost-resolution problem without the EPROM addition? Or is the Apple EPROM a necessary part of the solution?
