[rescue] Old Monitors

[luigi30 at gmail.com]

I got one and it works great with the ST in both RGB and pseudo-VGA modes.
Therebs a phase or clock issue that makes the fonts on the medium resolution
screen hard to read, though. Most games are low-res and productivity I do in
high-res so itbs still fine.

but finding one that can handle RGB input, is in good shape, and isnbt
impossible to ship can be pretty difficult.
