Classic Computer Essentials (was C128D)

One RGB monitor that I have is a Magnavox Professional. It has composite
input, RGB input, and another input that I don't have the cable for. I
like it because it also is capable of displaying Monochrome (green) display
in either CGA/RGB, Composite, or Monochrome mode. I think the third
connector is to connect it to a Hercules card, but I don't have the cable
(not the same as RGB cable.
