And wasn't the monochrome monitor an odd scan rate?  I only had
a monochrome monitor in the brief time I was using an Atari ST
(I got it at a clearance, and it turned out to have various problems)
and I made up a circuit to combine the RGB signals, and I guess the
sync signals, and fed that into the Apple III monochrome monitor.

I couldn't hook it up to the monochrome output because the horizontal
sync was higher.
