Er, well, actually two:

(1) Can Diamond's "programmable" clock synthesizers generate
_any_ frequency?  Could they thus be used to drive a fixed-scan
monitor?

(2) Has anyone considered trying to reverse-engineer Diamond drivers
to discover the interface to the clock synthesizer?  It doesn't
seem like it'd be that hard.
