I've used an Archimedes Monitor with My M128.. So in theory it should work..

>if not,  does anyone happen to know what color  the RGB output from the
Master 128 uses to sync with and at what freq?

The RGB output of BBC Micros does not place the sync information on any
colour line, there is a separate sync line.

I believe, for compatibility reasons, the BBC Micros output a picture that
conforms to TV standards, such that the picture can be output on UHF,
Composite, and RGB without the need for extra translation electronics. Im
not sure of line frequency, but the field frequency would be a TV standard
50Hz.
