Taxan 875 Plus Monitor as a HRM

The Taxan 875+ Monitor should be able to work as a High Res Monitor with 400
and 540 series Acorn RISC computers (Archimedes), as it has an H scan
frequency up to 75 kHz.

Does anyone know how to connect it?  On its rear, it has  R  G/S  B  H/C  V
sockets, but these are not well documented in the manual.  I presume that R,G,B
are obvious, but what is G/S and what is H/C?  Could it be that the composite
video output from the Archimedes needs to be split into 3, each going to
one of the 3 R,G,B sockets on the monitor (a sort of opposite version of
cable type MF on page 87 of the 540 series Installation Guide) ?

I guess that the connections are:
	R = Red
	G = Green (possible with syncs on this line too!)
	B = Blue
	H = Horizontal (or composite) syncs
	V = Vertical syncs
Thus the R,G, and B outputs from the Archimedes should go to the
R,G, and B inputs of the monitor. If the archimedes outputs composite H and V
syncs then this should go to the monitor's H/C input otherwise seperate H and V
syncs should go to the appropriate individual input on the monitor (I can't
remember what the Archimedes puts out in the way of syncs!).
