WRONG. Composite vs. seperate sync is workable. Mismatched scanning rates are not. >Multi-sync also usually have composite and vert&hort sync pins, which is why >they will work, and there are VGA monitors out there that do support and work Multi-sync monitors work because they support the NTSC scanning rate (which is what CGA and Apple // video use), NOT because of the sync format. >Don't bother with the 1084/S. They only have support for vert/hort sync. This >monitor would be adequate... 15Khz refresh rate, analog RGB, but without >composite sync support it's of little use to the GS. Wrong again. I've personally seen a 1084 running off a GS quite happily. Some monitors (the 1084 is one of them) will accept composite sync at both their horizontal and vertical sync inputs, with a bit of resistance in between to keep the two from confusing each other.
