       In a related question,  does an EGA monitor (not multisync'ing)
       usually also do CGA (i.e. does a regular EGA monitor usually 
       double-scan so that it is good for both EGA and CGA)?

EGA monitors are "dual-sync".  They will sync at either the standard
CGA or EGA rates depending on the polarity of the sync signal.  Some
models, like Hitachi, actaull have relays that click when you switch.
