Like most, I'm still looking for the
display. Bill Bradford beat me
to the VRE01 at Goodwill this week. And I actually owned
(and operate)
a couple of Classics before any of my DEC stuff. I just didn't know
they were Classics....
You could plug it into an analog multisync that will do sync-on-green and
the proper rate -- if you're not adverse to building an adaptor... Err, wait, that would work if you had color, anyway.
I guess if you don't
mind a green display, or if the other (red, blue) channels wouldn't be
harmed by the sync signal, you'd be fine. (That's not my area of expertise,
obviously)
Nah, a SOG display will usually only do green mono - that's the "sync
on _green_" thingy.
I have an Idek Iiyama in starage that ISTR transmogrifies a mono-BNC
input to B&W. I've been procrastinating bringing it home to see.
Doesn't matter, as all my VS3100s have color options. Although I'd
like to be able to do X in NetBSD....
