   The LED monitor >should< handle the XGA-2 especially during POST where   
   the video is 640x480 @60Hz. I have used a 15" HP LED monitor on a Model   
   90's planar XGA, and I'm sure over the years, many folks have used XGA-2   
   with a LED monitor.   
      
   The dots at the top of the screen -MAY- provide a clue on the cause.   
   After repeated BBH®, I have DIMM memories of screen trash by a failing   
   component. This is prior to the O/S loading, so it's doubtful the   
   artifacts are due to software drivers.   
      
   I surfed a bit, and it seems there was only one version of SurePath BIOS   
   for the SLC3. At this point, I'm not klar -IF- the SLC3 system BIOS is   
   in a EEPROM or EPROM. SurePath has been associated with FLASH-based   
   systems which accept BIOS updates via an update diskette.
