Probably not. The monitor for it is actually a 'VR201' .. a VT220 minus
the terminal interface part. The video output is actually monochrome
NTSC-compatible video (i've used my TV for that), and the keyboard is
either an LK-201 or LK-401 (they're electrically compatible with each
other). Somewhere I found a pinout of the 'video' port, if you want I can
look again.
I made an adaptor for my PRO380 (same video connector) that just gives an
RCA jack and keyboard jack from the connector and it works fine.
