Subject: Re: Electrohome RGB monitor
Since I got no response, I went ahead and did a test.
You
may be (or maybe not) interested to note that the monitor
in question is configured for Apple /// XRGB, which means
it hooks up directly to an Apple /// and delivers
beautiful
accurate colors. The cable is a 15-wire straight
through,
male to female.
The monitor also has a DIN-8 connector. Any guesses what
computer would have used this type RGB in 1982? Anyone
care about old personal computers, or just DECs?
I just added more shelf space to display my latest
acquisitions. In the pile was a 21" SuperMac monitor. It
came with 4 machines (LC II, LC III, II Si, quadra 650) so
I'm not sure which one it belongs with. I'm wondering if it
can be used on my VaxStation II/GPX or a sparc station.
The last monitor I picked up sparks when it is plugged in so
I'm leery about testing monitors at the moment. I also got
a Unisys monitor that seems to have a speaker in the base
and a rj45 male end sticking out of it. It has a 2
connectors on the back one with3 rows of holes and a wider
plug with 2 rows.
I have found a few boxes of 5.25 disks so I can get the
setup for the AT&T 7300.
