- A monitor from a PC type creature which I believe is called
- a DECwriter is no longer functioning. I would like to
- replace it with a typical TTL monitor, however the original
- monitor connects to the CPU via a DB15 (or maybe 13) as
- opposed to the typical DB9 on a PC TTL display... It turns
- out that this is because the keyboard lines are also in this
- cable and the keyboard plugs into the monitor. I think it
- would be best to simply make a cable that would connect
- a normal DB9 monitor and the keyboard to the CPU.
- If anyone knows the pins that are in this display/kbrd
- combo connector and would like to save me trouble of having
- to buzz it out by __E-MAILING__ me the pinout I would be a most
- happy camper, and will gladly send you a digital cookie. :)
