Joshi and two monks were watching a flag waving atop a flagpole.
One monk said "Look, the flag moves."
The second monk said "Look, the wind moves."
Joshi spoke thus: "Mind moves."

They also make double-decker triples. That's not the point.

12 inches for a thousandth of a second sounds a little off...though
I'm too lazy to do the math...

That depends on the eyes. ;) I certainly prefer the white.

I'm sure it could tolerate them fine if it had any decent error-correction
mechanisim built in. :)

I have a VS3100 m38 also, running NetBSD 1.5 on the built-in mono
adaptor. I also have the VR262 19" mono screen to go with it.
I can take my cable home tonight, where my multi-meter is. I can
double check for you...
BTW, are you not going to use color (adaptor) in it?

! Subject: Pinouts for Vaxstation 3100 monochrome cable?
!
!
! Hi, all.
! I have a vaxstation 3100 m38 running NetBSD, and I'd like to be able
! to use the local monochrome display. I've removed the SPX
! color adapter,
! and made up a cable according to the pinouts on Kee's VS3100 page. His
! pinouts are composite on pin 9 and ground on 3 for a BC23K-03 cable.
! However, with the cobbled cable attached, I don't get any output.
! Question 1: Did I miss a jumper on the mainboard?
! Question 2: I assumed that the pins were numbered in the
! same order as
! an AUI ethernet connector. Looking at the female, I have 1-8
! right-to-left, and 9-15 R-t-L. Is this correct?
! Question 3: I'm using an IBM Power17 display. Multisync,
! separate-sync,
! composite-sync and sync-on-green capable, I would think it would work
! with mono input on the green. It does work fine with the SPX adapter.
! Question 4: I also have a Digital VR160 display, but everything I've
! read implies that it won't do monochrome. Is that true?
!
! Has anybody been successful with a monochrome display on
! this box? Any
! help would be most welcome.

Following up on my last remarks, then I was younger, I
could see better, that's when I recalled seeing the
fiddle in the house. Plus, I do seem to recall it
being on the underside of the thingie...

Actually,
I remember reading an ancient article about how this wasn't
the case; I'm sure someone less senile can recall the exact
details, but dropouts in particular couldn't be tolerated
by digital systems, where the ear (mind) will just ignore
many audio inconsistencies...
