Thanks for your replies everyone. Well scuzz used to hang around Amiga.org...until now? It'd be nice to know exactly what was on the disk, and for the disk to be imaged and preserved on TOSEC or something.
I have a 1438 myself which I'm still using as my main Amiga display. I still can't find that pesky horizontal size control... they hid it well!


I need to find horizontal size control too :) Also vertical location control as well. Never had the guts to look inside.

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? :)

I know what's inside. I have that disk.
It has sysinfo, an antivirus, a diskcopy utility and some monitor drivers inside a Devs/Monitors, I think it's multisync and VGAOnly, for those who use WB1.x or 2.x.
