Hi All,
Does anyone have a suggestion as to a color monitor to use with old HP 9000
300 series machines?
The important number is the line rate of 25 kHz. Most modern multi-sync
models only start at 30 KHz so won't sync on to these older machines.
Cheers
Peter Brown

you got 3 options,
1 - medium res arcade monitor.
2 - apple mac monitor - there are about 3 old models from early macintosh that use 25khz,
but i dont know the model numbers so maybe a mac-head can give the details.
3 - nec multiscan 3d or maybe 4d, i cant remember exactly other than there was a few that
could sync 15,25 & 31khz.
good luck.

Good luck indeed on the NEC 3D series monitors... Every unit I've tested
to date seems to have major problems due to it's age. It seems like NEC
really cut some corners with those monitors. It probably is possible to
repair them, and service manuals might even still be available from NEC. I
think the original Multisync series (pre 2/3/4, etc series) might also be
able to sync to very low rates. Just in case it helps, the 3D is a 14",
while the 4D is a 16".

I don't have the specs to compare with your line rate, but I have a
380 with A1416A framebuffer that works fine with an SGI GDM-17E21.
I believe I've also used it with a Sony GDM-17SE1.
If you're near Seattle or can otherwise pick it up, I have a working
HP 98789A you're welcome to.
