Well, I managemd to find an old Princeton Graphics CGA monitor and *boy*
does it make a difference. No tearing at all. I suspect that my first 
monitor (an Acorn computer RGB III) may be out of spec or just wanted
some different voltage levels.

One question though:

Some other people have mentioned that I could also use an analog monitor
on the 128. My question is- is there any advantage? AFAIK, the advantage
of the analog monitor would be the ability to display colors from a 
>16 color palette. Is there any Apple // software that could generate 
such colors anyway?
