I have such a monitor in the closet.  I think it is digital, not
analog, which could be a problem.  However, if you got it to work,
then it must be ok.  In fact, I'm desparate to connect that digital
unit to the GS analog output, even if it means losing a few thousand
colors in the process.

Could you post the pin outs?  Thanks.

BTW, I see you got that monitor for around $50.  It surprises me
why people find it so hard to believe that a decked out GS system
with an accelerator, hard drive/controller, dual floppies, a
monitor, keyboard, mouse, and lots of software would go for $390
when just the monitor would fetch around $50.
