The VSC chip clocks at 15.75 KHz.  My CM8 has been going out for some time, so
I talked to Frank Hogg about which type of monitor to purchase for my TC70.

He said most multi-sync monitors scan at about 30.00 Khz, and are therefore
unusable for the VSC chip, and suggested either I buy another CM8, or get the
Magnovox 1CM135.  They both scan at 15.75, the dot pitch for the CM8 is, I
think, about .52mm, the Magnovox pitch is .42mm. (Thus making the Magnovox
monitor a better monitor.)

Radio Shack will sell me a CM8 for $150, but I've found Magnovox's for about
$250-$300.

The Magnovox is getting very hard to find, though....took me 4 calls to find
someone who could ship one to me within the next 10 days.

Hope this helps.
