        I've been using a PAL mono monitor that I used with ZX
spectrum like machines. And modifying the scan rate was exactly what I
tried to do. I had a schematic of the monitor, all transistor, and
with careful twiddling of some resistors and capacitors I was able to
change both sync rates (HSYNC is more dangerous since it is coupled
with the fly-back converter that generates all those high voltages
needed to make electrons move).

        Cheers,
