Get yourself an external scandoubler and pass that signal into the Merlin
and it will use it's internal switcher to display on your SVGA monitor :)

You won't. I tried to and failed miserably - they weren't successful (nor
was the PeggyPlus) and they are v. rare.

I had one in the A4000T. To use it with 1 monitor and my PicassoIV, I routed
the Peggy output into a SCART connection and then back in to my Paloma
Composite input and watched it that way. I had a little black box from Tandy
with SCART and Composite input/output and that worked a treat until it
fizzled :( Then I went for a 2 monitor setup when watching Video CDs..
