I recently received my new 520 ST.  It's great.  I've got TOS in ROM
and the connector for output to my T.V.  I own an old medium res
color monitor which I would like to use with my ST.  The monitor
wants composite input.  I recall reading in this newsgroup
several weeks ago that composite output would be available
in the new ST's, however there doesn't seem to be any obvious way
to get a composite signal out of my machine.  

I noticed in the pinout for the monitor connection that one pin
is for "General Purpose" output.  Is this a composite signal?
Do I need a special cable?  Does anyone out there understand
how to get a composite signal?


                                   Thanks for your help,
