I found a solution. The problem is that the boot rom (1.3) has an option
built in to define the graphics mode to be supported while it works out what os
or configuration to boot. "monitor X" is specified if you hit ESC before it
boots the os and you then have the option of choosing 1 .. X monitor
freequencies. They are then used from that point on when the machines is
turned on. I tried the tab key but I guessing this has something to do with
either x or the os which aren't on this machine. Aparently I accidentally
nuked the drive some time ago and had forgotten about it. I tore into the
case on this one looking for dip switches which were no where to be found. In
fact this machine hasn't any jumpers at all the board is clean of then.
