We have about 15 NeXT at our institute. For the nightly backups
and to keep NFS happy they're running continously (well, 
almost... :-). Unfortunately the monitors are running too. This is a 
waste of energy and probably shortens the life of the HW.

Is there a possibility to switch them off? In fact there is a pin 
called (MON) PWR SWITCH (6 for Monochrome, 2 for Color station plugs), 
but I could not get any info about using it.

So, is there anyone out there who knows a bit about this thing?
Or is there even a screen saver that earns its name?

Please e-mail any answers to me directly since I didn't subscribe
to this news-group, I will post a summary.

Thanks in advance
