This could have been... 
I've spend the whole afternoon in the shop with that fat and friendly
guy troubleshooting my monitors. Well, the TTX *is* working great,
indeed, but only when connected to a PC... Don't ask why, it is a
strange as unexplainable... Then we tried both the RasterOps (he had two
of the same model sitting in storage room) and BOTH are out-of-synch.
Now he know they are both screwed so he is happily going to sent them
away for recycling. Those 20' are FAT and use lots of room:-). We tried 
loads of different make/size monitors and unfortunately none could fit
my requirements: either too small, twisted or out of my price range. Too
bad for that 17' LCD... I left the shop posting a request for a
'good-enough' 1280x1024-capable monitor. It should be set by the end of
this week. until then, well, the World is all blue-less :-)

Thanks you.
