Dear Listers,

The Synch on the mrc500, 600, 1000 series monitors is definitely on
green. The old NEC Multisynch was a great monitor for this purpose.
Sorry for the late response, I've been on holidays

If I recall correctly, it was an RGB PAL monitor.  It also had an NTSC
option, but then the pixels were not square on the display, not that it
really mattered.

I do not recall whether the synch was on the G channel or on a separate
fourth synch channel.
