Actually the problem is that this monitor is TTL RGB (Oh why is 
big blue so pervasive?) In order to make it into an Amiga
compatible monitor you would have to replace the simple TTL
input buffers into full fledge analog amps (With 20 Mhz bandwidth)
Not something for the faint of heart. Of course you could get off
to a good start by picking one of these up as a "Taxan" monitor 
at some of the Heath retail stores. The one in San Francisco was
clearing them out at $399.00.
