Thanks! I clipped that info for future reference. So far there hasn't 
ben a repeat of the problem.

It has a the modern 15-pin configuration, but with a 4-4-3 layout. I 
asked in the amiga forum and no one has responded so I'm going to assume 
that since I found zero references to this beastie on the net that it's 
extremely rare. All the amiga catalogs and monitor databases talk about 
the 190x's and 1950's but no mention of 1930's. Weird.

Thanks again for thr info!
