Is there a special cable available to connect the Amiga to a TTL monochrome
monitor?  (specifically, one with a 640x800 resolution?)

Has anyone accomplished this?  If so, how well does it work (i.e. are the
characters as readable as they are on a 1950 in the same mode?, How about
interlace flicker?)

Now, I'm not referring to the mono video output jack on the back of the 
A500/2000/3000 series that is composite, meant for a luminance/composite
input on a VCR/TV.

It would have to be off certain pins on the video port, all I need is a good
clean B+W display.  Which pins are used?  I can build a cable quickly also.

At this time, I do not know the scanning frequency of the monitor, but it
appears to be compatible with an IBM graphics card.

Any help appreciated.  E-Mail address: Bill.Frandsen@bbs.acs.unc.edu
