Thanks. I didn't know our model number for it.

You don't really need multisynch.  All of the color modes use the same
timing.  I believe the PTC is a little flexible, but the timings it will
accept are not wide enough to be considered "multisynch."  Something which
is VGA-only is good enough, but for standard VGA the picture dimensions and
dot pitch will be off: everything comes out tall and skinny.  Atari's
"near-VGA" differs from VGA in that the picture is wider and the pixels are
nearly square in 320x200 (ST LOW), 640x400 (ST HIGH), and 640x480 (TT MED).
