One of my recent finds was a Radius Full Page monitor. I has a 9pin Dshell
F video socket. It's like a 14 " set on it's side. Does anyone have any info
on
this beast ? Drivers, what it was used with, etc.

Probably was used with a Mac. The earliest ones I've heard of plugged
into a special port (card?) which you could put in an SE (I know,
those weren't generally upgradeable, but I once saw one with the port for
the Radius, about halfway up the backside of the case). Being 9-pin
presumably this is the grayscale version. Most (all?) of that type were
the kind that have a mercury switch to sense the position; if you tilted
it into landscape-mode, it would inform the computer to
switch video modes and rotate the image to match. So you could have either
one high-res full page, or be able to see two pages side-by-side.
