New subject: TK 50 with VMS???

Is the AT&T 6300 a rebadged M24? If so, the D connector also carried power
for the monitor (which had no separate power cord).

 I remember the machine from student days, and the
 monitor was, as far as I remember, not standard
 at all. 
It has two nonstandard features:

   * High scan rates, leading to 640x400 resolution
   * 25-pin "D" connector instead of a 9-pin

I know we used some Aydin 19-inch monitors on M24s back
in 1986, but which models (and what scan rates) I can't
remember.

I did write some code to toggle a bit in the M24 and
cause the screen to degauss, though.  One of the Olivetti's
enhanced features.
