Because if Diamond's clocks were truly programmable, you could use a Diamond card to drive a fixed-sync monitor, like a used Sun gray-scale. This would be a hefty boon, as there don't seem to be large mono monitors available for PCs. c Radius makes a 21" inch 1200x1024 mono monitor and Sigma Designs make 19" 1664x1200 mono and grey scale monitors. Drivers haven't been written yet, but these two are prime candidates. If anyone has info on other high resolution monochrome hardware, please send me a note! Rich
