He's asked me to check it out upon receiving it, even if I want to send it back, because he wants honest feedback on it.

So I have a piece of software that will make that videomode actually produce a workable desktop ...

A cheapish scan doubler will do wonders for the ST community - awesome!. Everyone with a socketed Shifter can plug'n'play it right out the gate I assume?
