Now, could someone please tell me the pinouts for the 15-pin connector?
I would like to use it to view RS-170 video, if possible.
It's spelled out in fair detail in the Pro 300 Technical Manual, on Bitsavers. Look
at volume 1, page 383 (8-5). There are also VT201 engineering drawings on Bitsavers.
One complication is that you have to supply +12v power; the VT201 is powered from the
system box. The video is standard monochrome composite video "compatible with EIA
RS170 standards". So yes, that should work for what you want to do.
