I have recently discovered what could be a problem with my A-3000, or at
least Amber.  I've had it since this past March, but I've been running it
with a 1084 monitor.  Recently I bought a Diamondscan, and found the output
through Amber to be less than stable - it's OK so long as nothing is moving,
but when moving windows, or scrolling text (sometimes), I get breakup.
Individual lines are momentarily shifted over at random - sort of a linear
static effect is the best I can describe it.  Doesn't happen all the time
but it is quite noticable.  At first, I thought it was the monitor - it
arrived damaged and was obviously misbehaving in other ways, and I sent it
back (don't use RPS if you can help it, folks - the monitor I was delivered
had the two bottom styrofoam supports squashed FLAT as though it had been
dropped off a building, and this is the third time I've had trouble with
them, out of three encounters...).  But recently I gained access to a 1960
and it shows the same effect.

I did try adjusting the little screw in back, somewhat (it's tough to do
without the proper tool), but it didn't seem to help much.  I'd appreciate
any suggestions (via Email of course).
