Wow, fascinating. I'd love to see some videos if you have any means/interest to make some :)

I'm curious, what's the benefit of using linux on these machines in that case? To me the value prop of Amiga hardware is running Amiga software natively. That's not to say I would be unable to appreciate linux on these devices, I'm actually a fan of the concept as it would be fun to figure out.

 vo> Perhaps contact him to get your board looked at?

Not a terrible idea, actually. I usually chat with Acill but he's super busy at the moment and unable to take any additional work. This is unfortunate because he is actually located somewhat close to me which makes me much less fearful about shipping.

Yikes. Shame. They're good monitors, I really like mine. Maybe I should take another look and do some preventive maintenance.
