I've seen a number of references to people curious about the Diamondscan
lately, so I'm posting this.

The Diamondscan works quite well with the interlaced video modes.  In fact,
I never use non-interlaced modes.  The other day I even tried PAL mode (Super
Agnes) and it worked.  Actually, the composite monitor that I use as a TV
gave me a viewable picture from the black&white composite output from my 2000
in PAL mode--it just took a tweak on the vertical hold.
