Hello Paul, Is there really any reason why a device such as a Flicker Free Video or Retina board would do physical damage to a toaster card. My toaster is in for it's second repair after I attempted to use it with a FFV installed in the Denise socket. First the system guru'd and then the toaster would not respond or genlock. And this was subsequent to removal of the FFV. Incidentally, the system was unplugged and I was grounded etc. when the FFV was installed and removed. This seems to be an ambiguous area. I have people tell me there is no way a FFV will allow a toaster to work and yet I used that very combination without even one glitch for nearly 5 months. I believe you told me that you also use a Nanao 17" display with the toaster and FFV. Do the majority of toaster uses accept a flickering display for all their non toaster applications? I am really getting depressed using this $1000 Nanao 17" monitor for only ibm work. Paul could you specifically describe your toaster setup. Do you use a 300 watt power supply? Rocky
