     Rather than hacking on your monitor, try using the program
"SetLace", which is on an old Fish disk.  (I forget which one, sorry.) 
SetLace causes the system to scan-double the picture, by turning on the
LACE bit in one of the custom chips.  Though the picture is now
interlaced, it is *not* the high-res interlace that has the flicker
problem.  I use this all the time, and it makes for a *much* nicer
display.  No more ugly black lines!
