I have an old IBM CGA Color monitor. Is it possible to hook up to an
ST? I would need the pins identified on the moitor. I have the Atari
pins (from the user manual). I realize that I get NO speaker but I can
hook that up separately. This model does NOT have an RF moulator so my
best choice is to see if the existing IBM monitor can work.

As fas as I know, is it not possible to connect the ST to an CGA
monitor. The reason is, that the ST ouputs analog RGB signals (0,5
to 1,5 Vss), while the CGA monitor needs TTL levels (something like 0 or 5
Vss) for RGB and intensity (and because of that, there are only 16
colors in CGA).
However, a TV set with SCART connector *can* be hooked to the ST. If
you are interested, I will look up what the connections look like,
and post it here.

What is an SCART connector?
Thanks

It's also called EURO- or A/V connector. It is a 21-Pin connector and it
looks somewhat like this:
--------------------------
\ + + + + + + + + + + !
! + + + + + + + + + + + !
-------------------------
There are pins corresponding to the ST's CSYNC, R, G, B, Audio, Ground and
12V output that can be connected directly. The 12V is a sensing voltage
(??? "Schaltspannung" in German, I hope this is an appropriate english
term), to let the TV know it should read the signal from the EURO connector,
not from the standard (HF) input.
I don't know the connector layout by heart, but you can find it in
almost any TV or VCR manual.
Cheers,
Andreas
