I would like to respond to a question concering using a  monochrone monitor
on a CGA.
1) on a TTL drive monitor is will work with any. I tied the three RGB
	video drive signals together with a series resister for each
	signal to the video in. This worked well.
2) on a composite monitor it is hard unless the composite signals are
	created from the TTL signals eminating from the RGB port. I had 
	a schematic for one of these somewhere????. I think I've seen these
	advertised somewhere...
3) There are some cards on the market which will do this. But it's been
	a while since I've looked. Check out STB for the best solution.
	I am using a Graphics+2 card with two monitors ( one color, one mono)

Hope this helps, good luck.
PS, the series resistors are needed to allow the anlog drivers to work,
but I don't remember what values I used... sorry.
