Hi,
Yes I have a Vga monitor running in Hi res on a 1040 STe with a SH205 hard drive. On drive access the screen shows a light dotted line (many across the screen).
It's only really noticeable when loading/saving, and then only when looking at the screen at less than 30cm. Please remember the long term viewing postion is 4 times the diagonal of the screen. If you can still see it then and it causes a great problem? Hopefully TOS loads and you can still use your software.
Thanks
