[net.micro.amiga] Help Needed: Amiga Monitors

----------------------------------------------
I am looking at alternate monitors for my Amiga.

However, I am naive as to what features of RGB monitors are considered
"standard".

1. What are the critical specifications that determine if a monitor can be
   successfully attached to the Amiga?

2. Is there any such thing as a "standard" RGB cable connection? A while ago
   two fellows posted an excellent article on cabling a Sony Monitor to the
   Amiga. Is there a name for the pin-out Amiga uses? (like RS-449, etc.) Or
   is the cable pin-out proprietary?

3. Are all RGB monitors capable of operating in interlace mode?

                        Thanks,
