1) One site i looked at said a VT240 is a monochrome
unit, a VT241 is the
colour version. Is the only difference the monitor? Can I use a colour
monitor with my base unit?
Yes.
2) On the back are obvious connectors for an RS232 port (DB25), current
loop (8 pin mate-n-lock). There's a DE9 labelled 'PR', presumably a
printer port, also RS232. A RJ11 keyboard socket, I assume an LK201 will
work here (yes?).
Yes, I believe the LK201 was the factory configuration.
A BNC which seems ot be composite mono video. And a
DA15 plug, also for a monitor. I assume a VR201 links here, or a V241
with the right cable.
Yes, see the last picture on my site above.
