      Hi

   I used to have an old wang whith a 8086 cpu  in it, it had a monotor whith
 two cords coming out of it.
     one was power and the other one was for the data, they both pluged into
 the card whith two plugs on it.
   the one I had used the round ps2 stile plug maybe a little bigger, like a
 keyboard plug. 
Humm, sounds like the monitor plugs into the IBM Mono Emulator card, then.
It has a 5-pin DIN connector and an 8-pin DIN connector.  I would suspect
that the one labeled with the (+) might be the power, and the one labeled
with the pie slice might be the video connector.

The IBM Mono Emulator card din't look like it had parts on it that could
handle supplying power to a monitor, though.

I hope the Wang monitor isn't too specialized, else I'll NEVER get to see
this thing work!

I think I'll plug another machine into it today, using a null modem, to
see if the Wang expects a terminal hanging off its serial port.

Pray that nothing blows up.
