A warning to everyone buying multisync monitors.  Some of the newer
ones that allow the higher "super VGA" resolutions sacrifice the now
obsolete CGA resolution.  The Amiga uses that very same 15.75MHz 
scan rate (although analog instead).  Case in point is the above
CDP-1304.  It will only work with a flickerFixer (or equivalent)
at 31.5MHZ on an Amiga.  The CDP-1302 will scan down to 15.75MHz.

Of course you must have meant KHz not MHz, right? :-) :-) :-)
We got the point, though.

	You need to make sure the monitor works well
	in interlace mode without a flicker-fixer.
	Many multi-syncs will put the odd and even
	frames on top of each other on the display
	and you end up with an effectively non-
	interlaced image.
