Someone asked how a particular demo got more than 16 colors on the screen.   I
know ZIP about the ST, but is it possible that they have something similar to
the 8-bit Atari's display list interrupt to change the color map in mid screen?

Also, does anyone know what the ST uses for a monitor?  If I have a standard
color monitor (say for an 8-bitter), is there any chance it will work for the
ST?

 The color monitor shipped with the st is an RGB only monitor.  It has a
special (i.e. non-standard, not a small D) connector.  I think it will be
difficult to attach a composite video monitor since you would have to go 
from RGB to composite... By the way, the video on the 520ST is the cleanest
I've seen in a long time.
