 Where would you plug in the k-b ?

 Took me the longest time to acquire a BCC-02 cable for my 'bow,(BCC-03 for
color) not being as intrepid as you Tony. Had the mono monitor VR201 so
maybe that spaceage design with the little drop-down pole to angle the monitor
coupled with the 15pin connector intimidated me. As well as the K-B plug on
the monitor and taking power from the "bow. That was not a minor kludge.
