My old ZVM-122 amber composite monitor is still going strong, but I've
been wondering of late if I can get a little better resolution by using
a more modern monitor.

Can a 9-pin TTL monochrome monitor (like Goldstar or Packard Bell or ??)
be plugged into the 9-pin RGB connector (J9) on a Z-100?  Would 
resolution improve (due to smaller dot pitch, etc.)?

Big question, I guess, is: which monitor/video card combinations are
dangerous to pair up?  I recall vague tales of horror out of the past,
but my limited knowledge of all things video-related can't make sense
out of these warnings.  Frankly, I'm not worried about blowing an $80
monitor...I'm more concerned about hurting my Z-100!!!
