Dom: Ok, to use a switchbox as you want, you'll first need a switchbox. most any of the better (read that as more shielded) boxes will do. You should probably decide now if you want to get an AB switch (2 ports) or ABCD (4 ports) unit, depending on if you plan to use a Bridgeboard/VGA card in the future. Now, the cables you will need are as follows: 1 15 pin VGA to 9 pin (NEC style) cable 1 9 pin to 9 pin cable. Thats all unless you add a VGA card to a bridgeboard, then you'd need an additional 15 pin to 9 pin, or if you add an EGA card, you'd need a 9 pin to 9 pin. I hope this helps. BTW, the way it would be setup is you'd plug the monitors cable into the supplyed 15 to 9 adapter. then you'd plug that into the switchboxes common connector. then the 9 pin to 9 pin would go from FF to switchbox position A, and the 9 pin to 15 pin would go from position B to the supplied 15 pin to 23 pin adapter. This would give you the flickerfixer on A, and normal Amiga video on B. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
