I'd have mentioned it if I'd read anywhere that
the VR241 was supported :)
Everything I've found online talks about the Barco GD33 which surprised me
given DEC's 'thou must use our own hardware' point of view, though
doesn't
the GIGI predate the VR241 by a good couple of years?
Debugging it is a right pain -- I found that the
hard way.
Oh, and the deflection driving IC, vertical output stage, etc
are part of a thick film hybrid module on the scan PCB.
Eep. I hope mine doesn't give up on me then! From memory the manual recommended Barco monitors, so I
doubt DEC sold a
matching color monitor at the time. I had a GiGi a few years back.
I ran
it on a VR241 and it worked well. The same VR241 served me well on my
Amiga and various other home computers for a couple of years before it
finally died. It may even still be here somewhere, by the time it died I'd
picked up various other monitors so I never attempted to get it running
again.
