I had a Microvitec monitor that I used on my BBC and latterly on my
Archimedes. It used to *eat* flybacks, I think it went through 4 of them
before I finally gave in and chucked it out.  

I do have a schematic somewhere if you need it, its just a single page so
should be relatively easy to scan etc.  Might take me a bit to dig it out
though.
