The easiest way to hook up an ST to an amp is to add an RCA jack to the
computer itself.  Messing with the monitor worries me ALOT, and I love
to hack my hardware.

Just get a female RCA port from Radio Shack.  Clip a wire to the audio
pin on the monitor port (inside the computer, the rear of the pins stick
out of the monitor port.....clip to here).  Solder the other end of this
wire to the INSIDE of the RCA port.  

Take a second wire.  Hook one end to the computer's shielding, the other
to the OUTSIDE of the RCA port.

That's all there is to it!  However, on the 520st (or at least mine),
doing this cuts out the monitor's speaker.  It does not seem to do this
on the 1040.
