Re:
Purpose: the investigate the possibility of
modifying
a recent multisync to sync down to TV frequencies.
Eeek! ... Personally I think it would be easier to find an old TV-rate
monitor and repair it, even if you have to wind replacement transformers
yourself. But anyway..."
This may not be all that hard. In fact, the early NEC "multisync" monitors
DID this, as they came stock from the factory. CGA, MCGA, EGA and VGA.
They even came with 9-pin to 15-pin adapters to deal with the two different
connectors in use. I'm not sure that current monitors still do it in their
"stock" configuration, BUT I WOULD NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOME
MIGHT.
