A friend of mine (who doesn't have an Amiga, he's an 80X86 addict) bought a
Mitsubishi DiamondScan 14" multifrequency monitor for his VGA '386 based
system, and he loaned me the manual once, as I was thinking about getting one
for possible down-the-road enhancements... Well, the manual indicates that
they have NTSC compatibility, and even (get this) some way to synchronize an
external composite video in with the displayed RGB analog-derived signal!
The specs in the manual were worded somewhat poorly, and I never actually
tried it, but I thought I'd mention this, in the event that it would jog
someone else's memory out there, who can share with the rest of us whether or
not this monitor can handle NTSC composite input.
