   Only certain monitors had the right sync rates in either.  I forget which   
   (Sony I think) but one multisync could do both with a  simple switchbox   
   built into the cable.  The ST had to be turned off, the switch set, and then   
   the ST re-booted.   
      
   I have 4 ST's (all upgraded to 4 megs and 1 with a 16mhz accelerator), 4   
   monitors, 4 hard drives, and a genuine Atari CDAR sitting on the shelf that   
   haven't been started up for years.  I really need to break some of this   
   stuff out one of these days.
