Woah boy!  A multi-sync has the ability to act as a higher frequency 
monitor (like a MAC II or PC VGA uses, approximately), but to use this
mode on an Amiga you need a flickerficker video interface board first.
What you get for your extra $ is what the "multi" means.  You can use it
with the normal Amiga video output *or* a higher frequency one.

If the original question was how to put the Amiga into 400 line interlace
mode, you go to preferences and set interlace to on, save it and reboot.
The only tricky bit is if you have a hard disk with SYS: assigned to it
that isn't SYS: when you first boot.  Then you also have to copy
SYS:devs/system-configuration to the devs directory on your boot disk.
Workbench 1.3 comes with a utility to do this if you boot from df0:.
