Also also possibly any help - I used a VR241 monitor on an Amiga 500 for
years with a cable I knocked up out of a VAXstation monitor cable and a
23-pin clamshell which was almost unobtanium in those days, so if you have a
monitor that works with an A500 you stand a chance of getting it working
with other things.

I could do with getting hold of a VR241, but these seem to be pretty
unobtainable. So the alternative is to rig up an adapter of some kind to
work with a VGA LCD, which also saves on space. I came across the following:

-VT240-etc, has anyone else tried this with success?
If it's any help, the VR241 is a (US) TV rate monitor with analogue RGB
inputs. It can
be switched between separate composite sync (on a 4th BNC socket) and sync-on-
green, with the Rainbow, Pro 300 series and VT240 it is used in the latter
mode. I would guess the DECmate also uses SOG.
