Was the 640x400 running on the GS RGB monitor? If so, was it an interlaced
signal? Where did you get a 9MHz TWGS? I have a ROM03 with a 7MHz TWGS, and
in the 8 months or so that I have had it, I have gone through 2 TWGS's. I'm
still waiting for the 2cond one to return from AE(fortunately the DMA SCSI
card came out, otherwise the GS would be unbearable from the Finder). Let's
see, AE has probably had the TWGS's around 90% of the time. I wonder if they
are trying to redefine the meaning of a one year warranty?
