Well, you could probably get the same effect with a little bit of snipping
by connecting the luminance output of the 1377 to the composite output buffer
transistors.  However, I suggest you try simply plugging a decent monochrome
monitor into the composite color output and see if the result is good enough
for your purposes.  While, the A500 monochrome output is ineffably better
(since I designed it), the A1000 output isn't all that bad.  You may want to
mess with preferences to get a better color-monochrome mapping for workbench
and simple text applications.
