🤣, impressive!

Those screenshots bring back memories of my very first job at a local pharmacy with a couple of monochrome monitors (one green and one amber). At the end of the day I would head out the door and the outside world would look like that for a short while 🤣 😊

That looks really cool! It looks like it is actually in grayscale despite being TTL?!
Can you tell me how you wired it and how you programmed the timing?

Another interesting thing is that I can see color in it (by brain fills it in)

Thanks! It's actually not TTL. It's not a MDA monitor it's a Monochrome Composite Video monitor, for like an Apple II or a C64, that kind of thing. So it's the luminance and ground pins from the S-Video output of the FX 5200 wired to a composite video plug so it is in fact grayscale. Essentially it's an amber black and white TV. I can see color in it too, especially the Google logo looks like it's in color to me but there is no chrominance information coming to the monitor so it's just an illusion.
