Howard My wild guess is that the vertical or horizontal scan rate you are using with your PC monitor are not compatible with your MAC monitor. Bingo Howard!! As per your suggestion I started fooling around with other scan rates and it appears the Mac monitor, a Radius 1994 vintage, will only display at 64 hz or less although its resolution capabilities go up to 1920 x 1440. The 60 hz scan rate flickers somewhat so thats a problem. Funny I never noticed it with the Mac. My reason for doing all this was to utilize the Radius as a second monitor off the PC. So i guess I need either a multimonitor card that allows different refresh rates/resolutions between monitors or go with individual cards since I can't live with 60 hz on both monitors. I'll even have to think about living with 60 hz only on the secondary monitor. Anyway, you hit the nail on the head which has allowed me to procede and I appreciate that very much. Thx again Clarence
