I've connected a NEC Multisync II to my ST.  I've tried monochrome in its
monochrome mode (forgot how), and by putting the mono signal simultaneously
to the R, G and B signals.  The NEC monochrome mode is VERY grainy.  Putting
the mono signal onto RG&B simultaneously has good resolution, but the screen
image is only about 1/3 of the screen height.  Keep your SM124.
