Again, the GS and Macs have quite different scan rates, and the GS
monitor was only designed to handle the slower GS scan rate. I'm
surprised it worked at all on the Mac. Cheaper Mac monitors won't go slow
enough for the GS either. The only way to acheive monitor parity is to
add a Second Sight card to the GS and use a VGA monitor and have a Mac
that will also use VGA. (I'm not a Mac person, so I don't know if all
Macs can use VGA.)
