Do you know what the monitor connector looks like? The only possibilities
are the DIN plugs on the back of the IBM Emulator card. Unless the
monitor was some kind of terminal that attached to the serial port.
The 8-pin DIN plug has a little symbol next to it which might represent a
CRT. (It looks kind of like a pie slice.)
Sorry, it has been over ten years since I last saw one of those critters
and my recall on that kind of detail is fuzzy. With the case off, the
content of the cards may well give you a clue, though.
Well, I don't know where else to put a monitor.
The Wang keyboard plugs
into the 4-pin DIN socket connected to the machine's motherboard, I can
only guess what the other things are for. I'm just scratching my head
trying to figure out how to get a picture from the thing.
See remark above.
Too bad the keyboard doesn't have the greatest
feel. And some of the keys
are in the wrong places, but that's a holy war I don't want to get into.
;)
Yup! That is one that no one can win.
