I guess Steve's idea of moving the jumper is easier than finding a different
working CPU!! This could very well be the only problem.

When it comes to this kind of information I trust Steve more than anything I've
heard, especially since he's the source of most of my information!!

One thing I do know is that after Cinematronics re-merge with Vectorbeam, there
were a lot of Vectorbeam parts around. It could be that you have a Vectorbeam
monitor (and power supply, etc.) that was installed by Cinematronics using old
Vectorbeam stock at hand.
