I understood from Tony a CRT monitor should just work. I was asking him if I understood
him correctly. From your post, it seems I didn't!

Not to resuscitate the thread unnecessarily, but you do still need something to take the

do so). Not sure if that's what you meant or not.

Hmmm, will any old CRT monitor work? I might be pursuaded to see if I can
scrounge one of those even though finding a home for it would be a problem.
Was hoping to avoid the CRT death rays though since I did enough of that
for decades. The newer flat screens seem much healthier.
