- I'm well aware of how it works, but I think you are wrong. If you read
- the docs the author states your monitor must be capable of "multisyncing"
- to a certain degree; remember you are now pumping more pixels out to the
- screen than with a 640 x 480 raster. I have tried MAZ with an older
- Apple 13" screen which would NOT sync properly despite extensive diddling
- with the controls. Again, the author states this *might* be a problem.
- He also says it doesn't work well with the 12" monochrome monitor (which is
- why he added the lower-resolution mode), but my monochrome seems to work
- fine at 704 x 512.
-
- So, I repeat my original question: does anyone KNOW if it works properly.
- By this I mean have you actually USED IT on a new 14" monitor? I suppose
- it's academic now anyway, since I already ordered the new screen....
