A general THANK YOU to all who replied to this: >I have an Amiga 3000/25 100 and so does a neighbor of mine. When I go into >prefs and select screenmode for Hi-res interlace the default comes up 640 >x 400, no great surprise. My neighbor's comes up 724 x 482, I'm suddenly >envious. We both run Workbench 36.68 but my kickstart was 36.141, it's now >36.143 like his but no difference in screen size. When I change the screen >size to 724 x 482 I simply get a virtual screen of that size and not a larger >display screen like his. Is this a difference in the chip set as his machine >is obviously a little newer than mine? If so how do I upgrade? The replies led me to find the problem, and for any A3000 owner who has a NEC 3D monitor and may be having a similar problem here's the situation. The NEC has buttons on the front to stretch and move the screen around. I had mine fully stretched before going into the overscan adjustment screen so when I tried to stretch it there, I couldn't, even though there was a large border. The answer, PRESS THE MEMORY RECALL BUTTON on the NEC. It shrinks the screen to this little thing in the center of the monitor. Then in the overscan adjustment the black squares are actually adjustable. When stretched to their max, the default screen size in the screenmode prefs is now 724 x 482. Thanks again,-- John J.
