I worked at Lexidata from 82-84. They should have been up there with
Sun and Apollo, but they made some bad business decisions. Lexidata
had the patent for the h/w implementation of Z-buffering and should
have 'owned' the solids modeling market. The monitor (from memory)
should have 2 sets of R G B Vs Hs, which accounts for the 10 bnc
connectors. Internally it could probably take sync from the green
bnc. It is almost certainly 1280x1024 and might be non-interlaced
as Lexidat was either the first or one of the very first to have
1280x1024x60 controllers.

Thanks for the memories and I hope this is useful
