You don't want to use an IBM type monochrome monitor with your Amiga -
the IBM expects vastly different horizontal/vertical sync timing.  Instead,
find an Apple ][ monochrome monitor.  Apples have NTSC compatible 
composite outputs, as does your Amiga, and the composite monitors are
as cheap as the IBM guys are.  I've used a USI EV-2131 with great success,
and it's slightly longer persistance even makes interlace mode look
better.  With the A2000/A500 monochrome composite output, it gave very
good results in almost every application I tried.
