Well, how about pointing to one for starters? I don't think I ever saw a
video board for the S-100 that had any sort of cable termination on the distal
end of their cable, if there was one, except, perhaps, for an RCA jack.
The machines I owned that used something other than a dedicated monitor of
which the Vector Graphics cheapie I owned for a short time is an example,
generally used a serial terminal. While there were several other ways of
handling the console construct, or, for that matter, the graphics display, if
you wanted one, they generally were on boards that more or less required you
to make the choice of connector, however, since the board was generally
shipped separately from the box. If you went to the computer shop, you would
definitely see cables with PL-259's at one or both ends. Of course, you could
buy an adapter that went from SO-259 to BNC. I don't remember there being
RCA<=>BNC cables at these computer commodity stores, though I'm sure they
existed.
