I have this big beautiful monitor which I, unfortunately, cannot use with 
my new laptop.  The monitor is color, has a good picture (Trinitron 
tube), but is *fixed frequency*.  The sync frequency for all modes is 
60Hz.  That's not as high as many monitors use nowadays, but I have not 
experienced any flicker on the monitor.  You might be able to use this 
monitor with any old graphic card which has accurate timing controls (my 
laptop doesn't manage even when I set the timings to 60Hz, YMMV).  
However, I use the monitor with a specialized fixed frequency controller, 
which is called a 'Photon Torpedo' and is based on Cirrus Logic's 5434 
chip (a decent 64-bit accelerator).   I got the monitor/card from an 
outfit called Hi-Tech:  my card is the VESA version, though you can 
probably still obtain the ISA or PCI cards from them if you want.

What I'd like to sell the card/monitor combo for is $700.  If you want 
just the monitor, I can keep the card for use with other (i.e. multisync) 
monitors, and sell it for less.  I'd really prefer to sell to someone who 
can come pick it up in Greenfield MA.  It's a very big, very heavy, and 
fairly fragile item... as is any 20" monitor.  I could ship it insured, 
but I'd rather not ship it at all if possible.

Yours, David Mertz
