According to Newer Technologies GURU database, the 8500 "does not support Dual-stream Video Output... In this machine the graphics display goes blank when it is transmitting video output". There is no such note listed for the 8600. David Clae Gason, Secretary, Melbourne Wireless mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://melbourne.wireless.org.au "God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing-pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it.
