I missed the pocket manual, thanks for that. I have reversed the monitor
cable and it comes up with VT240 OK now.
Thanks!

Here's the Manx reference:
http://manx.classiccmp.org/details.php/1,2969
On page 12 it lists 3 possibilities:
1. Plug in VR201 (LED indicator only)
2. Reverse monitor cable.
3. replace monitor cable.
Good luck,
Mike

I just got a VT240 with a VR201 monitor. When I
switch it on it
displays
"??240 Monitor Error - 9" (although the question marks are reversed).
The terminal works otherwise. It displays the setup menus, and it
works when connected to one of my VAXen.
I have looked in the docs I have, but none have troubleshooting
information, and I can't find anything online.
Any idea what this error means?
Incidentally, I used to use a software package called UNIRAS to do
graphics on VAXen, does anyone know if it is still possible to find this
software?
