Hello all.
I picked up this morning a VAXstation 4000/60 from the local recycling
center's computer dumpster. I could not find the monitor or keyboard. Is
there any way to make a VGA monitor, and PS/2 Keyboard/mouse work on this
machine?
Did it include the monitor cable? If I remember right, the 4000 used
a 3W3 (*NOT* 13W3) connector for video, which might be hard to come
by. But if you can find a 3W3 connector, you can make your own 3W3 to
VGA cable fairly easily. Any monitor that does Sync-on-Green should
work. Most 17-inch and larger CRT displays seem to have this feature.
I've even used my ViewSonic VP201b LCD display -- the analog input
does sync-on-green, which I've found to be incredibly useful.
It's FAR easier to find a 3w3->3BNC cable than to find a bare 3w3 connector.
Peace... Sridhar
