There have been a number of people asking about connecting multisyncs
to an ST.  It seems to be contagious. :^)

In that case, there is a collection of text files about connecting a
multisync monitor to an ST in the multsync.lzh file in the atari/graphics/
directory at atari.archive.umich.edu.

I have an NEC 3D connected to an STe.  I'm using an IB Computers Switchbox;
they import the switchbox from Europe.  I've tried the Omniswitch from
Talon Computers and it just plain sucks -- avoid it.  The NEC 3D and IB
switchbox works great!  No complaints.

A friend of mine has a Mistubishi Diamondscan connected to his STe.  He
says that his monochrome isn't as clear. 

I've heard good things about the Sony 1302 monitor.

Justin Dubois has ordered a Loop monitor to connect to his ST.  He says
he should have it in a few days.  We'll see what happens. :^)
