It is still in beta (actually Omega :-) test. |I suppose that the title is a bit of a misnomer, I don't know that the problem |it with the 2090 specifically, but here is the problem: |The hardware is a B2000 with 2090 and 28ms SCSI hard drive. Naturally, the ^^^^^^^^^ |system starts generating errors when the screen is in overscan mode. ^^^^^^^^ You (or your dealer) have a driver that is is AT LEAST 1 YEAR OLD. Andy Finkel posted the driver on Usenect way back last November, and it can be found on most BBS and public networks. I AM using the A2090 with overscan up to 756x480 with NO PROBLEM. Is that enough overscan? |But, |under the FFS, the problem doesn't stop here - the drive also generates |errors in hi-res or interlaced with more than 4 colors. Which BETA version of FFS? Do you know how many were produced? How did your dealer get hold of an "unreleased" product? If you are a beta tester for CBM the place to post this is BIX, not this forum. But then, do you know what is the meaning of "beta" version as opposed to "released" version? -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
