I *just* bought a 520 ST after being a long time 6809/OS9 fan (well, I
STILL am...) and picked up a 520 a PS3000. The latter is apparently a
combination of the color RGB monitor and an imbedded SS disk in the
same cabinet (ala MAC).

I noted outright that whenever the floppy is in motion, that some very
faint diagonal hash appears on the screen (Yuk!). I intend to return
the PS3000 for discrete units (SC1224 and Drive), but having read the
message traffic here regarding the 'new' sc1224's and the defective
display, I'm scared that I might end up with one!

How do I determine whether a sc1224 monitor is a new or an old type??

While I'm here (I don't want to flood the group with "where do I find
out's" and "who makes a" and the like), can someone reccomend a good
techie-level 'guts' book on the ST? I have seen several in the
bookstores, and have heard that some are no-goodski.

Thanks (emphatically) for any and all help!
