  Well, in the past, I have simply glossed over all the plees for
information about their mono monitor having the shakes....  I thought,
gee, those poor unlucky people.  I have had my 520ST (2.5M) and the same
mono monitor since 1986 - it can never happen to me...
  
  How wrong I was.  But, I do know that this DOES NOT seem to be a
problem with the monitor but I could be wrong.  I say this because
whenever I do a disk access or have a program that uses alot of CPU
(like 3-D cad...) the "shaking" of the screen stops... and this is not
exactly shaking (it seems to shake when I use Uniterm) because when I am
on the desktop, I can see a series of distortions traveling up the
screen...  I thought it might have been that my st was hot, so I opened
it up and none of the chips felt unusually hot... I suspect it has
something to do with the video shifter... but I am not sure... Any one
want to fill me on how I can isolate the source of the problem and have
it repaired??  Maybe now I can get the TT I so dearly want....

Thank you.
