The CBM version of that IBM monitor is called a 76B-M13, sold currently only in Europe and maybe Canada. I'll try to get an IBM number; the IBM version is missing from the lab at the moment. Anyway, its a monochrome monitor accepting a digital input. I think there may be a strange sync polarity on one of the sync lines, but other than that it looks really good. The set these up for some kind of demo here — I don't know if that means anything in the way of what to expect in the future, but if a monitor like that and a little interface box were sold here, all those Atari folks could stop shouting about their monochrome mode. I don't know how realistic it would be to convert the interlaced mode to non-interlaced, as that kind of implys the ability to store two frames, skiggle them, then display them twice in a row at the high resolution. While doing the same with the corresponding colors. Certainly possible, but not cheap without some kind of trick involved. I'll think about what could be done. -Dave * Reply: 10231

'fraid 76B-M13 is about as meaningful to me as Sanscrit… actually, I'll bet it's a 13" monochrome (I already knew mono though). I can't guess what 76B means. Anyway, if it's the same as an IBM 5151, tell me how to hook it up — I'm looking at one right now and I'd love to see my Amiga looking back at me through it… – Bela PS: and if it is the IBM 5151, a quick look through the back of Byte reveals 10 vendors (I counted) selling clones for $89.95-$179.95. With a $20 adapter cable, that could be a very viable second monitor for text applications… * Reply: 10236 * RR 10196 +

A little more searching found me 4 more vendors, one selling 'em for $65! How the heck do you hook 'em up??? – Bela * RR 10196
