Actually as I recall there were prototypes of that
system build with 3 different colored CRT phosphors (white, green and amber). I'm not
sure in the end why amber was chosen. But I remember having/working with both amber and
green screen versions and I saw folks with white screens. So, while others may scream, I
don't think it would be too much of an affront since internally IBM was trying to
decide which one to use.
Interesting! I haven't done a CRT swap before. Are good tubes suitable for that
monitor hard to find these days?
