Why? If the T1000LE is anything like the SE or the XE, it has a 100-bin bus connector on the back. There are a few companies which manufacture PC/XT (and I think even AT) compatible slots which connect to that port. Buy one of those and a VGA card and away you go. The Toshiba SETUP10 program allows you to configure the system to use a display other than the internal display, so obviously the system was designed to allow this to happen. m. -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics, Inc. portuesi@sgi.com "Long before one is anything like drunk, the tongue is loosened, and words may slip out which should never have been said.
