The ST color monitor is an ANALOG RGB monitor; it WILL NOT work
work with a CGA or EGA card.  It's timing matches NTSC specs; voltage
levels are 1 volt peak-to-peak.  It should work with a PGA adaptor
(though you might need some voltage level conversion resistors) and
might work with a VGA card.  It also should work any Amiga.

The best place I know of for cables is Practical Solutions in Arizona.
(I think that's the name; they make the "Monitor Master").

VGA would be fine....  I need to replace a CGA/Amdek 310 combination
and would just prefer to not have to buy both a video card and a monitor.
