The existence of quasi-periodic eigensolutions of a linear second order ordinary differential equation with quasi-periodic coefficient f{ω1t, ω2t) is investigated numerically and graphically. For sufficiently incommensurate frequencies ω1, ω2, a doubly indexed infinite sequence of eigenvalues and eigenmodes is obtained.The equation considered is a model for the magneto-hydrodynamic “continuum” in general toroidal geometry. The result suggests that continuum modes exist at least on sufficiently ir-rational magnetic surfaces
