Not having seen a BC18Z I can't say, but I could post photos of the BC19S if that
helps. The BC19S has a block near the BNC connectors where you plug in the keyboard and
mouse, it also has a screw sticking out of the block, I think it is designed to screw into
certain CRTs to hold the block in place.
One thing I should have said, there was a bit of a blue cast. I don't think this is
the cable though, it could be the card itself, or perhaps the monitor, but I don't
have the means to verify this.
Regards
Rob

So, what's the difference between a BC19s and a BC18z?
My suspicion is that it's either mechanical, or cosmetic if they're electrically
equivalent . . .

For the record, it turns out that the BC19S cable also works on a VCB02.
