DEC Rainbow 100+ Plus - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

17 Aug 2007

Yes I know. The shipping / voltage issue is a big problem for me. 
However as a stopgap I have found a non-DEC monitor marked R  G(Sync) B.

(If that's not sync on green I don't know what is)

So its cable time this weekend and see if we can't get some colour out
of the Rainbow.
(Cue Judy Garland .. Somewhere etc.....)

Both the VR201 and the VR241 are available in the states, but shipping
overseas could be expensive.

 Hi
   Yes I knew about the comp video. Fortunatly a kind list member has a
 VT201 I can have.
 Now the hunt is on for a VT241. That's the companion DEC 13" RGB 
 colour monitor.

 Regards

 Rod

  You have another option... the video input to a
VR201 is NTSC 
 "composite video", also called RS-170.  I see you are in the UK, so 
 an 
  NTSC monitor might not be as easy to find as a
VR201, but will work 
 if 
  you have one handy. 
 Just about any CCTV monitor, basically.
