(Much really helpful information snipped here...)

There are two video output cards; a 98204A, marked composite video; and
a 98627A, marked color output. The only monitor I have with RGB and sync
BNC ports is a 19" Taxan 980, wonder if that will work?

Yes, it's there, but is the keyboard connector the RG-45 looking one? There
is also another BNC connector on the same card.

Thanks a lot for the info, and if I start to think I'm in way over my
head with this thing I'll give you first dibs on it. Now I'm wondering
what my friend Rick did with the rest of it?!?!?!?

Thanks again,
