Note to 1040 users: just having this cable won't make your ST into a 
composite-capable machine (this is the impression I was under when I bought
the cable -- guess the ol' brain cells are decaying faster than usual). What we
need is someone to design a box, or for Atari to sell a box, that will fit onto
our video output and give us composite). 

I have seen a 520 with monochrome monitor and composite color. The color is not
as good as the RGB, but it will do for games. I was almost tempted to trade
my 1040 for the 520, but the extra 512K memory and built-in drive (plus the 
hope of composite sometime, somehow) was enough to keep me in the 1040 camp.
