What is/will be the recommended monitor for the Falcon (if/when it
becomes available to me) to be able to use all of the screen solutions
in all of the colors, and in a reasonably crisp manner? I'm hoping that
the answer isn't a $1200 monitor from Atari (the price I'm hoping the
Falcon will cost with 4 megs and a 65 meg hard drive). Will there be
support for other lower cost monitors that, perhaps, the IBM community
has been using for years and I might find used for $3-$400 US?  Also,
they (Sam Tramiel in Boston in October) said that the Falcon could
display sm124 monichrome mode on a color monitor. Is the SM1224
acceptable for this, or are they speaking of some $600 multi-sync
monitor? I'd like to sell (not now, but when I'm looking to trade in for
a Falcon) my 1040 ste w/4 megs, an sm124, and a sc1224 to pay for the
falcon & a monitor. What will this system be worth when the falcon comes
out (speculations, of course) and what would I get for a used Supra scsi
host adaptor? (Assuming, of course, that I won't need one with a
falcon).
