Meanwhile, this morning, I discovered that my last CRT monitor had given up the ghost in the night, and while a Yestation, even a Twinax one, is kind-of sort-of legible on an LCD monitor, an IBM 3489 is not.

I remember to have had a 3488 (?) connected to a CRT at one time. Since the resolution coming out of the 3488 is nothing even remotely close to any stock PC LCD resolution, the result is hurting the eye. Is that what you mean?

I have never understood why LCD manufacturers never included a setting to suppress scaling and instead map the digitized analog picture signal pixel by pixel to a crisp image being centered on the screen. Yes, this wastes screen estate. But at least it's an image one can watch without eyes hurting.

I'd just been up to the local computer junk-shop yesterday, for a PS/2 mouse (the reason why the Yestation had been toggling its sessions continuously was that the mouse had gone bad, and unlike a 3489, a Yestation just takes a generic PS/2 mouse),

Interesting. How does a mouse trigger a session switch?

Interestingly I have connected a standard PS/2 mouse to my 3486 years ago, and it works according to specs. I wonder why the (later?) 348x should handle this differently?
