I don't have documentation, so I'm not disputing that, but this
makes me very curious. How is it that the RX8-E card (M8357) can deal
with any of:
1) RX01
2) RX02 in RX01 mode
3) RX02 in RX02 mode
The board has dual interface modes. The RX02 has multiple modes
as well. The best way to no results is to try a RX02 in a Qbus box
with RX01 controller. Made that error once, wasted a lot of time
even though it hurt nothing.

New subject: Electrohome RGB monitor
Well, for $2 I picked up an Electrohome RGB monitor, Model
38-G12003-60, made by JVC in Japan in 1982.
By the looks of the case colors and the connector, my guess
is that this is an Apple II/III monitor. My real hope is
this is one of the few monitors that can hook up directly
with an Apple III, and produce the right RGB colors without
any adapter.
Does anyone know? Does the pinout of the RGB connector
match that of an Apple III? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Since I got no response, I went ahead and did a test. You
may be (or maybe not) interested to note that the monitor
in question is configured for Apple /// XRGB, which means
it hooks up directly to an Apple /// and delivers beautiful
accurate colors. The cable is a 15-wire straight through,
male to female.
The monitor also has a DIN-8 connector. Any guesses what
computer would have used this type RGB in 1982? Anyone
care about old personal computers, or just DECs?

I just added more shelf space to display my latest
acquisitions. In the pile was a 21" SuperMac monitor. It
came with 4 machines (LC II, LC III, II Si, quadra 650) so
I'm not sure which one it belongs with. I'm wondering if it
can be used on my VaxStation II/GPX or a sparc station.
The last monitor I picked up sparks when it is plugged in so
I'm leery about testing monitors at the moment. I also got
a Unisys monitor that seems to have a speaker in the base
and a rj45 male end sticking out of it. It has a 2
connectors on the back one with3 rows of holes and a wider
plug with 2 rows.
I have found a few boxes of 5.25 disks so I can get the
setup for the AT&T 7300.

Now, as to what uses it, it may have been used by a
Japanese micro (there
were several, and many of them had RGB outputs). Or it may have been a
connector that you had to use a custom cable to link up to whatever you
wanted to use it with.
Incidentally, while trawling around Yahoo! Japan, I found out that a lot of
Japanese RGB monitors used SCART/Peritel connectors, though they're simply
called "21 pin video" or things like that. I believe Sharp produced a line of
such monitors for use with the X1 and X68000 series.
If you're interested in Japanese micros, there are two places of particular
interest to go to. The first one, in English, is the Japanese Computer
Emulation Centre, http://www.jcec.co.uk/. The other one is Yahoo! Japan
Auctions at http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/. I haven't got the exact URL to the
computer section, I'll look that up the next time I have the Japanese software
on, but they have a "vintage" section, so just turn on gallery mode and enjoy
the dazzling colours of Jap micros. =)
