Oh, that's 6 bits (64 colours). EGA used that system (2 bits per colour
signal).

This sounds like a monitor that would work with any of the then-common PC
video standards, and then some others. It probably won't do the later
higher-resolution super-VGA modes, thouygh, and you may well need a
special cable for each type of video input.

I would be suprised if it was auto-switching (not that date). There may
well be an internal link in the PSU area to select between 110 and 220 V.

No need, I know what DE15 and BNC sockets look like :-)
