Well, in the past, I have simply glossed over all the plees for information about their mono monitor having the shakes.... I thought, gee, those poor unlucky people. I have had my 520ST (2.5M) and the same mono monitor since 1986 - it can never happen to me... How wrong I was. But, I do know that this DOES NOT seem to be a problem with the monitor but I could be wrong. I say this because whenever I do a disk access or have a program that uses alot of CPU (like 3-D cad...) the "shaking" of the screen stops... and this is not exactly shaking (it seems to shake when I use Uniterm) because when I am on the desktop, I can see a series of distortions traveling up the screen... I thought it might have been that my st was hot, so I opened it up and none of the chips felt unusually hot... I suspect it has something to do with the video shifter... but I am not sure... Any one want to fill me on how I can isolate the source of the problem and have it repaired?? Maybe now I can get the TT I so dearly want....
