Well, shit. My Atari ST monochrome monitor went off to that great bit bucket in the sky last night, and I can't do a thing with my system. I'm going to get an idea on how much it'll be to fix it (ha!) and scope out the price of new mono monitors, but I have another sneaky idea: replacing it with a multisync monitor. What experience have people had with multisync monitors on the ST? I know they work, but which ones work the best, or which ones do folks like the most? And how do I wire the sucker up properly if I do buy one? (NB: properly == both mono and color at the flick of a switch). If anyone has either a summary of this information or any experience with a multisync, I'd be grateful for a copy, and I'll post a summary of what I get. Thanks in advance!

I have an NEC 3D connected to my STe and I love it. I'm using the IB multisync switchbox since I'm not technically inclined to make my own. I highly recommend it. Avoid Talon Technology's Omniswitch like the plague! I went through three and they didn't work. They're also put together with the cheapest plastic materials. When I was searching for multisync info, I collected a lot. I arc'ed it up and put it at atari.archive.umich.edu under the name of MULTSYNC.LZH I think. There are also a couple of other files there for multisyncs and STs, but I don't remember their names.

I am not sure of the price, but you can give them a call at (714)544-7888 and ask them about their Omnimon Rainbow MultiSync monitor. I hope I helped you in your quest for a MultiSync.
