Recommend a 15KHz compatible monitor...

It's an old Sanyo. From the time Sanyo was still very strong in Europe, and produced those very cool digital VCRs with digital effects or something.  The thing has around 14 years. I didn't even knew it supported RGB, I found the manual by occasion and read some stuff just by nostalgia.

Eddie rules :-D

Regarding your original problem (reflashing the BlizzPPC without a 15khz monitor):

Reset your machine and keep the ESC key pressed until the BlizzardPPC's own "startup-menu" comes up. Here you can adjust several things (e.g. disable all unused SCSI nodes, this will speed up the boot process).

Thanks, I actually knew that and have the early startup redirected to the BVision anyway.
The problem is that the flashrom was trashed somehow and the only part of the card that was detected was the 040 chip (no scsi, no ppc, no memory, no bvision). The flash menu wouldnt come up no matter how long I pressed the Esc key...

This has happened to me a few times in the last couple of years. Once it 'forgets' you just cant do anything with it other than reflash it seems.

When the card is reflashed it works fine again.

-edit-

Once I disabled the card (using the '2' key) only to discover you cant re enable it without holding the reset key combination for 10 seconds. Its disabled completely until you do this (reboots included).

What an unbelievably  stupid design :-x

I have a pc keyboard via an eyetech EZ-key interface and it won't hold the KBRESET line for anything like that long.

I had to re flash it then too! :-x

Has anybody else ever had this happen?

Nokias with TV capability will handle 15 KHz, both on the RF input and as RGB on the VGA connector.
Your Amiga dealer may have some flat screens which will, too. I know GGS-data has some rather sexy ones.
