I do not have specific schematics for the 1901 but on some RGBI or CGA
monitors including the 1902, 2002, some 1084s, if there is a signal
on Pin 7 which carries combined horizontal and vertical sync with monochrome
NTSC analog composite video, the chips on the circuit board do not have
a way to tell which sync signal(s) to use. It maybe that your 1901 has
pin 7 un-connected internally.
