- We have about 15 NeXT at our institute. For the nightly backups
- and to keep NFS happy they're running continously (well,
- almost... :-). Unfortunately the monitors are running too. This is a
- waste of energy and probably shortens the life of the HW.
-
- Is there a possibility to switch them off? In fact there is a pin
- called (MON) PWR SWITCH (6 for Monochrome, 2 for Color station plugs),
- but I could not get any info about using it.
-
- So, is there anyone out there who knows a bit about this thing?
- Or is there even a screen saver that earns its name?
-
- Please e-mail any answers to me directly since I didn't subscribe
- to this news-group, I will post a summary.
-
- Thanks in advance
