I have tried all the modes using an NEC multisync I and all seem to perform
well except for the 1024x768 mode where I had overlap and fuzziness of the
image.  This may not happen with other monitors (anyone else tried this ?)

Note that you have to play around with the sync and vertical size controls
to get the image right in many of the modes on this monitor.

The 1024x768 mode seemed to allow only 16/64 colors, and not 262,144.

ATI recently shipped a new ROM package for the board, haven't tried it,
so don't know what difference it makes.  Might improve many of the
above.

All in all, a good buy.  (No association with ATI).
