I have finally managed to get my hands on a TRS-80
Model 1. Trouble is, it
came without a monitor. I have been doing some searching to see if I can
find out what kind of monitor it is and I am left unsure. All I have found
so far is a statement which says it is a TV without a tuner. I am not sure
what that means. I still have a CRT TV, can that be made to work, or have I
bought something that I can't use?
Almost any TV that has a "composite video" input. Or an RF modulator., or
the video in of a VCR.
It is close to being in-spec for RS-170. OK, it IS "RS-170", if and only
if you interpret that to mean "RADIO SHACK 170" (which is what they once
did with "RS-232".
When I did lectures in Evans-10 at UC, I just cabled straight in to the
wall jack there, to display on half a dozen large overhead monitors.
