I've been a whole lot to the junkyard this week. Together with a friend, I
salvaged to 1990 vintage monitors. One is an Idek Iiyama 21" one, which works
fine. I appreciate the fact that it's got both a D9 TTL input, a D15 analogue
input, five BNC analogue inputs and five BNC outputs. The only minor flaw is
the analogue connector, which is a plain D15, not a D15HD. I found that it
used the same "standard" D15 VGA cable as IMP monitors, though.
Anyone heard of some kind of common D15 VGA pinout?
The other monitor, though, is an anonymous beast. It's around 19", and the
label at the front says Megagraphics. On the back, apart from all the warnings
and certifications, it says that it's been manufactured by Zenith, and the
model number is 19MGM2.
It's rather short in the back, which implies (to me, at least) that it's a
monochrome monitor. It's got a D9 female input. The case style reminds me
somewhat of a Xerox monitor (a lot of straight lines, very much late 80s).
The size makes me think that it probably isn't TTL. Possibly ECL, which really
wouldn't do me any good. OTOH, there's a chance that it could be analogue, and
if I'm really lucky, that it uses the "standard" D9 VGA pinout.
Does anyone know anything about this monitor, or have any advice on how to
find anything out through probing?
