Richard,

Yes... you're right.  We're asking the same question really.  I'd come to
the same kludgy solution that you have, but I think my question/difficulty
goes a bit beyond yours.  What monitor do you use with your 760?  I've got
an NEC 3FGe lashed to the 755cx and it really is a nice unit, but using the
CX's display adapter, the monitor's image shifts from one side of the tube
to the other depending on SYNC settings; (ie: If I adjust the monitor's
800x600x72Hz display to center, the image will be off center as soon as I
boot to DOS or use a different screen resolution.)  It's not a horrendous
problem because I grudgingly use Win95 99% of the time.  However, I'd love
to NOT have to retune the monitor each time I boot to DOS, or have to look
at the '95 Logo off kilter every time I booth the machine.  On my desktop,
my old display/controller combination, (Viewsonic 15/Diamond Viper) worked
well, because the controller could be pre-tuned for each setting such that
the picture would re-center itself if resolution or sync rates were altered.

Any ideas?

-Michael

PS: I still love this machine.  Thanks again.
