I have been experiencing interaction problems when using a EVEREX EDGE display board with a SAMSUNG monochrome monitor. I am using these products in an IBM/XT PC compatible. The problem (bright glitches on screen) ocurrs when the EVEREX board is strapped to boot up in color mode. After several boots, the glitch eventually blows the monitor. I returned the display board and monitor for replacements and experienced the same problems with new equipment. I have checked and rechecked all straps on the display board to insure that they were correct. One interesting note is that with the board strapped to boot in monochrome mode, I am able to switch to color mode by software without any problems. I contacted EVEREX to inquire about any known problems in using the EDGE with a SAMSUNG monitor. They said that there are no known problems when using the two together. Additional notes: I have installed a V20 processor to increase speed and operate in the TURBO mode (8 MHZ). If anyone else has experienced similiar problems or may have any information on this problem please contact me. Barry Rafferty ...!ixnp4!ihlpa!raff1
