:        I've tested a Taxan 795 on an A540. The monitor is not capable of
:displaying the 'normal' screenmodes, modes 18, 19, 20, 21, 27, 28 and the
:new super VGA mode 31 will work ok. In modes 18, 19, 20 and 21 the right
:and left edges are not straight.
:        The 24/36 MHz VIDC clock on the A540 is switched automatically
:to 36 MHz when needed (mode 31). If I knew a call to switch the clock
:from 24 to 36 MHz when the display is in the not working modes, perhaps
:the 795 will lock them succesfully.
:        One more strange feature of the 795 is a thin black horizontal
:line about 2 inches from the bottom of the screen. Very annoying when you
:are in the desktop and know the line is there. I was told this is common
:with the sony trinitron tube.

This is unbelievable!  Does this mean normal modes don't work with
multisynchs in general or is this taxan monitor a particularly
awkward case?  I've just sent of for a Nec 3D & I'm going to be really
upset if it does this.  Anyone used it on a 540?

[Need a new monitor coz my Acorn badged one has developed a terribke
judder - it's only a month old :-( ... going back this weekend]
