    Uh, do you mean there is no item under "Set Configuration" > "View Configuration" ?

    What are you looking for? If you are looking for an item for 640, forget
    it. The ADF has nothing for it. Since we lack a tech ref, it's merely speculation. But the XGA-2 does not have an item to change resolutions
    either.

    The Godfather of "Our Thing", Peter Wendt, had a name for IBM Tech Cant, Technoslovakian.

    After enough time, you will adopt "Rightspeak" and learn to love the IBM
    lash.

    I still do not grok why they would need the VGA oscillator, maybe as a reference? The VGA clock from the system board would be on the AVE, and available to the 8514/A.

    Whoop - forgive me, probably my incorrect terminology here, I attached a screen grab of the refdisk I am referring to: https://postimg.cc/3yk7jLRF

    I understand what you now mean, the configuration for the card is not alterable. Will try moving the card to the other slots tomorrow....

    thanks,
    Jonathan
