Using Sony DAS (And WinDAS) to calibrate and breathe new life into Sony computer monitors

Do you have a Sony computer monitor with a CRT that needs some TLC? Too dim? Color balance off? You can use the Sony DAS software to try to “fix“ these monitors. There is information out there on the internet about using WinDAS to tune up monitors, but if the monitor is older, it must use a DOS version for which I could find no information on. Hopefully this helps some people needing to give their Sony computer monitors a tune-up! -- Video Links Sony DAS Software (including WinDAS but also all DOS versions) (all patched to work without the dongle!)
