I bought one at the Apple Expo West a few months ago. I works OK, though
the colour isn't a bright as my Apple RGB. Though the Atari monitor has
built in speakers, Alltech didn't make an adaptor cable for them. One of
the reasons I bought it was that I thought I could plug in the monaural
output and use the volume knob on the front. I suppose I could make an
adaptor but I don't know what wires are for what.
