If you can't find any DEC monitors that work, try a nice NEC or newer =
ViewSonic multisync.  Only drawback being you need one that supports BNC =
connections.

My MicroVAX 3100 has a KA41, and I think that is also what is in my new
VS3100.

Speaking of VS3100 graphics....  what monitors work correctly on the
VS3100?  I have one that does not want to sync correctly to the mono
VR260 or VR262 or VRM17 (high or low switch sync) monitors.  It will
sync on a VRC-16, and the fellow that gave it to me gave me an  HA19
monitor (the big sony GDM thing).  Unfortunately, I can't get the
sony to sync either.

Any suggestions are appreciated.  It would be nice to get a big
19 inch or 20 inch monitor up on the thing, so myopic types like me
don't have to squint.....(:+\\.....

Are there any jumpers or rom settings to poke in the  VS3100 to make
it work correctly?

Thanks

Bob
