If the monitor supports RGB analog (and most all Amiga monitors do), you
can hook it to the GS. Note: Do _not_ try that with ,odern multisyncs,
they just won't sync low enough to serve the GS. The old NEC 2A works,
though (but then, it's not really a multisync ... :)
Take the SCART connector of the monitor, connect RGB, the GND wires and
the sync wires, connect the Audio IN stuff to your stereo card,
and there you are. Easy.
