[comp.sys.acorn] MULTI-SYNC & MODE 21

Hi All - Especially Acorn,

I have encountered a rather strange behaviour with my Arc 410/1. It is config-
ured as follows:
  Arc 410/1
  2Mb Ram, 20Mb HD, 1 3.5" floppy
  EIZO 9060SZ Multisync Monitor

The problem:

  When in mode 21, if I access the floppy-diskdrive the screen will turn "black
  with a thin gray line border" each time information seems to be read from the
  disk (ie. not when the motor starts/stops)

  Is this a fault with my Arc, or is it a general problem? To me it seems very
  much like the Arc, since there is a thin gray border when the screen blanks!
  Could it be a production error?

Wish you all a merry Xmas, and a happy new-year. May more and even better
hard/software be developed for this Super-Personal-Computer....

Regards,


Michael
