Exactly what it says on the disk.

Microvitec made a series of Monitors which were very popular with Amiga 4000 (and 1200 owners). I have a couple in my collection, A GPM1707 (17") and a 14V2C (1438) plus an Amiga Monitor which was actually a Microvitec 1438 re-badged for Amiga Technologies.  I don't have the utility disk though ;-(

I used to have the Amiga Technologies badged, 17" Microvitec CRT monitor when I was using my expanded A2000 primarily, and then my towerized A4000D, but it died an early death and I tried to get it repaired at some shop that specialized in TV and computer monitor repair.  They couldn't get any parts for it, and I left it there hoping that they would figure out some way to fix it, but never got a call from them.  I eventually gave up on it ever being fixed, and never went back to pickup a dead monitor.  It was big (very deep) and heavy for a 17" monitor, but for its time, it was nice to have an Amiga badged monitor larger than 14" and it did a nice job for the short time it worked for me.

It was sad to leave it behind, but the last thing I need is more Amiga gear, specially gear that does not work, cluttering up my place.  I don't have the space Trevor has to store my Amiga collection.:)
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
