An SVGA monitor can't synch as low as the 15 kHz needed for Amiga lores,
unless it's a true multisynch, in which case it isn't cheap :(

The Microvitech 1438 is a bit under 300 isn't it?

This bit is only hearsay and rumour, but I have been told that if you
can find an old(ish) PC monitor which is CGA and VGA compatible that
it will work.  Haven't tried it tho' I can't find one.  You would also
need the manual to get pinouts etc, so please ddon't rush out & buy
one just yet.

Perhaps someone else knows more...
