A lot of people speak badly of the Second Sight card. I have one and I'm
glad I have it. Just recently a little water dripped into my old GS
monitor without my knowledge. As you can well assume my good ol' GS
monitor no longer works. But since I have the Second Sight card I can
still use my GS.

I bought one of those svga switch boxes at a computer show. If I connect
this switch box to my 486 with an ATI Mach32 Pro svga card the image on
the screen is all fuzzy. When I connect the same switch box to the
Second Sight card in my GS the image comes out the same as if the
monitor were connected directly to the card. I'm really pretty satisfied
with my Second Sight card.

P.S.

Anyone in the San Diego area need a GS monitor for parts?
