Thanks for the info!  Does he have an ST/Mega or STe?  Does he have
the SoftSwitch installed?  This may be the problem.  From what I
understand, you put their SoftSwith TSR before Revolver in the AUTO 
folder, so when you switch to a partition in mono, it switches 
automatically.  On the other hand, this could hardly be the problem 
because he wouldn't be able to load Altered Beasts as a Revolver 
partition -- or could he?  In any case, Revolver doesn't work on the 
STe, so I really wouldn't have a use for SoftSwitch.  But thanks for 
telling me anyway.  I'll ask Wuztek about it.

How's the monitor though??  How does it look?  Is the color and 
monochrome good?  How does it compare to other multisyncs or the 
Atari color and mono monitors?  Thanks!!
