Check my posting on the ATT 6300/Xerox 6400. It shows a pin map of the video
cable for the monitor. I'm not an electrician but it looks like pins 24 and
25 are the hot ones, at least on the card for sure.
I've based the advice on my own experience, which could be pure coincidence
but now, I unplug the power to the video card when I use a color monitor. I
have collected eight of the 6300s, and in each case, the color monitors have
the power connector unplugged at the video card. Maybe that was coincidence
too.

No, you're wrong. Three of my close friends bought the 6300s when they
were new and one of them had the color monitor. You only had to unplug the
monochrome monitor and plug in the color one. NO other changes were needed.
