[comp.sys.atari.st] Help, 2 questions

I just received my MagicSync multiscan monitor finally. I made a
cable to use in color mode. I'd like to  get hold of an OmniSwitch,
(from Talon Technology?) - does anyone know of a good source & price?

I'm also stuck in the game Future Wars. I can't get out of the
monastery. Any hints/spoilers would be most welcome.

PS - Using Overscan, I get 832 (831) horizontal pixels and 280
vertical in medium resolution. (416 H in lo-rez). This monitor
has .28mm dot pitch, rated for 1024x768, 45-90hz vertical refresh,
15.7-36khz horizontal.  Has a 9 pin TTL RGB socket as well as a
25 pin analog RGB socket. I rigged up my own cable for the color
display, and need a good way to switch into monochrome.

PPS -  has anyone come up with a hack to make the ST use interlaced
video? It'd be nice to get 560 vertical instead of 280...
(Tho it's pretty nice right now, 104x35 text in med-rez. Only quirk is
that GEM desktop now thinks you're using a "big" screen [which you
are, I guess!] and displays windows in 2 columns.)

All responses to any/all questions greatly appreciated.
