RE: Tempest lines fading

Thanks Roger, but this is not the monitor. This is happening in cycles.
The lines will be good for 2 seconds or so, then bad for 2 seconds or
so, and then back again, over and over and over again. The monitor is
known good as well as the power supply, etc. The only thing different is
the board.

Thank you,
JB

I need to word this better. Run the game until the lines fade out, THEN

set the focus to look right (horizontal lines same as vertical lines).
That way you should get a setting that works all the time.
