monitor radiation suggestions

[Sparky]

Are they cheapy cheerful monitors or a good brand ?  Good ones shouldn't interfer with each other.

That'll probably be your problem then :-)  Doubt there is much shielding in those old things ... I guess if you could find some shielding material you could put it inside the cases of the monitor (I know the 1084s has heaps of space in it), have to make sure you don't short anything mind :-)

Yeah, this would be interesting to me too as I have an ancient monitor
and I'm concerned it could be the cause of SCSI errors on my cable
nearby.

If you're getting SCSI errors then you could be using cheap cables (a big no no, you get what you pay for :-)  or you could have poor earthing in your system (the SCSI cables shielding need to be earthed and it uses the SCSI connector on your machine to get at it.

Or you could have bad SCSI termination or just a dodgy cable (even expensive ones can get broke .. ie. don't bend them too much)

Does lead block magnestic fields ?

Wouldn't a "Faraday Cage" be better (don't think I spelt that right)
