  Currently I use a NEC Multisync 3D monitor with my amiga, and, as far as I
know, it has only has one video port.  Does this mean that I cannot hook up
DCTV and my amiga to this monitor simultaneously ?  I also have a Magnavox
PRO 80 RGB (ie Commodore 1084) so I suppose I could use this just for DCTV (?) 
however I am currently planning on selling this and keeping the NEC.  Any
way I could use JUST the NEC without having to constanly switch plug and 
unplug cables (which is already out of the question : )
