We have been loaned a DECstation 3100 by DEC and are somewhat disturbed by the quality of the display, in particular, when the machine is anything like busy ( a `find / ' will do it) we get black intermittant lines jumping about the screen. It looks like the screen refresh is not transparent. Has anyone else noticed this? It looks like it could get very annoying after a while.

We had the same problem with one (and only one) of the DECstations we purchased. DEC replaced the CPU, and the problem hasn't shown up since. -Steve Spoken: Steve Miller Domain: steve@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!steve Phone: +1-301-454-1808 USPS: UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
