BTW: Q60 and Q40 will not work on an LCD unless its a very expensive one
(like say the IBM 21" UXGA of cost at about 2500 USD -or- if you are lucky
a cheap one that supports the extra modes-
However Qx0s CAN be modified by D&D to work correctly with LCDs :-)
Why won't they? What is the nature of the modification?
They DO work but not *REALLY* work... the problem being 1) the timings and 2) the aspect ratio.
Most LCDs cannot cope with the weird size and as a result the displayed characters are terrible...
I have found several LCDs that can fix that, most of which were Widescreen and had TV tuners inside :-)
The modification in reality adds black space so it will bring the display to a 4:3 aspect ration which is then correctly displayable on all LCD monitors
