I've just acquired an old Processor Technology

anyone can advise on what video monitors are compatible with it (how about
an old IBM monochrome monitor - hercules compatible?), and what the video
connector on the back is (huge 1/2" dia. coax connector) - are the mating
connectors still available?
Second, I'm planning to use my PC sound card to record/playback in lieu of
a tape recorder (more reliable, less hassle), and wonder if anyone has
done the same with any success?
Thanks,

It should hook up to any monitor that you might find in north america, BW
preferrably. The only weirdness is the PL59 connector, so you may have to
build a PL59 to BNC or what-have-you cable to connect it to your
monitor. I picked up a 9" B&W security monitor for $10 at a swap meet and
it has worked just fine.
Here's where I get to plug my web site:

You may want to seek out the section on repairing the keyboard.
