IMSD, Westlake Village, CA Lines: 29 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!
