Yeah, I use a Talon Omniswitch with my multisync monitor. Works OK, although
the image is smaller than I'm used to. (14" monitor, .25mm dot pitch.) With
overscan, the 732x480 display is pretty decent. Color mode is just fine, of
course. No problems with monochrome either. If you're going to build your own
cable for the purpose, just bring the monochrome out signal from the ST video
connector to all 3 R, G, & B inputs of the monitor. (Along with the rest
of the sync & ground stuff, of course.)
