Sincere apologies to graphic-ers who are not interested in this stuff...I could
not find the path to uab_cs to send this mail directly.

I have connected a number different monitors to a 125 with sucess.  What you
need to do is

	1) Have a monitor with RGB input and separate sync input.  It should
	   be a standard 525-line monitor (like regular TV).

	2) Connect the RGB output from the 125 to the RGB input, and the
	   monochrome composite output from the 125 to the sync input

	3) DO NOT TERMINATE THE SYNC SIGNAL AT THE MONITOR.  Most monitors have
	   a switch which says something like 75-ohm or nothing.  You want 
	   nothing for the sync.  This is not the traditional right way to do
	   it, but the 125 seems to like it best that way.

I have typically used a Barco GD33, but I have also used larger Barco monitors,
projection TVs, etc etc.
