[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9100a & 9100ft VGA modification

[Steve Larkins]

Send me a private email Tony why broadcast it?

If you cannot understand why it is necessary you are probably the wrong
audience. I mean do I really need to explain that the reason we would
upgrade the video card to work on a readily available modern display rather
than using an obsolete, no longer available, made out of unicorn pubes
monitor?

If you tried to connect up your 9100a/ft to a modern display you will find
I have just saved you several days maybe weeks of effort. This is the
techtool list most subscribers are very clever chaps and will not need me
to explain the basics to them.

I am sorry I got personal but it's been a long day and to be honest I find
you very abrasive so best we leave it there.

If anyone else wants to critic drop me an email.
