Hello,

  I just recieved the CDEV called 'Flow Fazer' which generates really nice
patterns during its screen saving mode....It does have 3 problems however:

1)  It doesn't work across multiple screens.  My second screen does not get
blanked.

2)  So, to work around pblm #1, I tried to activate Moire for 5 minute timeout
and Flow Fazer for 6 minute activation, then Moire should blank and Fazer should
come up on screen #1.  When Moire comes up (Or Fazer if you reverse the
timeouts), the system crashes with 'Unimplemented Instruction" into Macsbug.

3) Sometimes, the Flow Fazer does not activate.  It says "No buffer allocated"
instead of 'Drawing image" when you pull up the Control panel CDEV.  It is on a
5 meg mac....

Just thought I would let you know!
