Someone asked how a particular demo got more than 16 colors on the screen. I
know ZIP about the ST, but is it possible that they have something similar to
the 8-bit Atari's display list interrupt to change the color map in mid screen?
Also, does anyone know what the ST uses for a monitor? If I have a standard
color monitor (say for an 8-bitter), is there any chance it will work for the
ST?

It has a special (i.e. non-standard, not a small D) connector. I think it will be difficult to attach a composite video monitor since you would have to go from RGB to composite... By the way, the video on the 520ST is the cleanest I've seen in a long time. I*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
