The Seiko CM-1430 (a very fine instrument with a small dot pitch and a Sony tube) is unfortunately not a multisync monitor, but a multimode monitor. It will not lock onto all signals, but only a range of "standard" signals. One of the standard signals that it will synch to is the IBM 8514A card/monitor frequency. The CM-1430 is actually a plug-in replacement for the more expensive IBM monitor. The 8514 and CM-1430 monitors can be driven by the ATI VGA Wonder card to 1024x768 resolution (the 8514 standard). Unfortunately, the frequencies for 800x600 super VGA are not something that the CM-1430 can lock onto. As a work-around, it seems that ATI has made their card display the 800x600 mode as a "window" inside a 1024x768 , 8514A frequency display. I recommend going immediately to the 1024x768 driver. The full screen will be used, and the fonts will stay the same size (you can think of the 800x600 display as a window on a 1024x768 screen). To make it easier to see characters on the screen, you need to install the 8514a fonts and tell the system.ini file to use them in place of the vga fonts (the 8514a fonts use more pixels per character to make the fonts bigger when the pixel size is small). -- Bruce Dunn Vancouver, Canada a752@mindlink.UUCP

When I use my ATI VGA Wonder 512k and the 800x600 driver from ati
with Win 3.0 my display size reduces somewhat. Has anyone else encountered
this problem? Any suggestions?
I have a Seiko CM-1430 monitor.
Thanks,
