OK, I flashed the card to the latest update from the phase 5 sight, now when I press ESC on startup I do get a screen that comes up but it is scrambled. I booted the computer up and noticed in the screen mode settings there is a new monitor setting installed (BootVGA:productivity). I set my monitor to this setting (1084S) to see the result and sure enough the monitor did the same thing as when I held the ESC key on start-up.
Is there some way I can change the screen setting for the CSMKIII setup screen? if I can't I will have to get a scan-doubler or something to be able to see this early start-up.
Thanx again for the support.
