This jogged a memory for me-- didn't the Amiga have a couple of color
monitors with long-persistance phosphors for it's interlaced display modes?
The vertical resolution would probably be pretty low, but it might be fun to
hook one up in a 640x240 MAME mode and see how the phosphor glow looks
compared to a "real" B/W vector monitor. ;-)
