	Here's a preliminary follow-up to my request for recomendations
for a nice monochrome monitor with the following features:

	Amber screen
	Greyscale  -- not just ON or OFF (amberscale? :-)
	400 line resolution interlaced
	400 lines non-interlaced (for new custom chips)
	and cost $150 or less (but willing to spend more if needed)

	I recieved three replies: from Yuan Chang [yuan@uhccux.BITNET],
Neil Weinstock [rutgers!garage.att.com!nsw], and Stuart Pierce
[rutgers!pnet01.cts.com!spierce]).

	Each suggested the NEC MultiSynch GS (Grey Scale).
There was no clear concensus on whether it was available B&W, Amber, or both.
The price should be $200, more or less.

	Stuart also suggested the Princeton Max-15. "The Princeton is a full
15in. and handles up to 1024 x 768, but I don't know the price."

	I was attracted to a Zenith ZMM-149A monitor that is PS/2 compatible.  
It has upto 640 x 480 resolution, 60-70 Hz refresh rate (should work so far,
yes?), and 31.49 kHz horizontal scan frequency (is that normal?).  The
university price is $157.  Will this work with current Amigas?  Will it do
interlace?  Will it work with the new chip set?

Thanks,

	joe piazza
