That is true, but the screen is really too blurry to work with for any
length of time.  Hans' suggestion (A1000 composite video into luma input
of 1702 monitor) actually works quite well.  Of course, you cannot expect
to get even halfway decent color this way, but the screen is sharp enough
to be useful for text editing, etc.
