Also, (it occurs to me, and I'm probably on shaky ground since I'm making a
guess generalization about the US ST's handling of NTSC from the foundation
of the UK ST's handling of PAL) I expect you'll find that the Atari uses
normal bog-standard interlaced scan when it thinks it is talking to a colour
monitor;  believe it is only the mono monitor which uses non-interlaced
scanning (and a truly obscure non-standard scan frequency into the bargain).

However, since I've mentioned it, can someone who *really* knows for sure
let me know whether this surmise is correct?  Anyone from Atari listening?
