If you tie the mono-detect line to ground the ST thinks it has a mono
monitor hooked up to it.  The scan rate goes to 70Hz and all you see on
the color monitor (actually I'm not sure about the color monitor, but on
my TV) all I see is scrolling orange lines.  In other words, it don't
work that way.  But, you may be able to hear the audio. :-)
