Are there no TV type scan modes like the ST/STE , the 320*200 and
the 640*200 on the 'TT' ?.

  I ask this is because I here comments like, you only need a VGA
monitor or you need a "multisynch".
 
  I can see the reason for not having a true "mutisynch", if
the 'TT' has the one same scan rates as the ST's mono one,for all its
colour modes, but if the 'TT' has support for the ST's 320*200 and 640*200,
  then I can see the need for a "multisynch" monitor, or should I be
saying a two synch monitor ?.

  Your Help would be appreciated, may be you could give us details of
the scan rates..
