        Scott, there's a FN-Key combo (I don't have a 701C in front of me,
so I'm not sure what it is--I *think* its FN-F5 or F6) that toggles between
3 modes on your 701C--TFT Screen only, CRT Screen only, and dual TFT & CRT
screens at the same time.  You'll need to fiddle with this before you see
any image on your CRT.

        I believe the settings are also in the BIOS, but again I'm unsure--I
my 701C is now in my wife's hands & I can't check!  :-)
