- 1 ) Are the ST SIMMS "standard"  ie.  will 8 bit SIMMS from IBM dealers
-     work in the ST, and what speed should they be (80ns, 70ns, ...) ?
 
Yes, the ST SIMMs are standard.  You can use either 1megx8 (Mac SIMMs) 
or 1megx9 (IBM SIMMs) at 120ns or faster.

- 2 ) Can a MultiSynch monitor (eg. NEC 2A) be hooked to an ST.
-     How (I don't have a multisynch yet so don't get too technical - 
-     just an outline will be fine) ?
-     Will it display all three resolutions ?
 
The NEC 2A won't work 'cause it's not a 'true' multisync.  I'm using 
an NEC 3D right now.  I know others who have used NEC II, Sony 1302, 
and many other models.  There are some basic guidelines to the type 
of monitor you can use.
