I don't have a lot of hope for this one, but thought I'd ask.

I have a 5000/240 that I picked up, and have been messing with for a little
while.  Had to get cables, found and old CD-ROM drive that would be
compatible, etc. etc., I'm sure the list is familiar with this old dance...
:)

Now the problem.  It came with a 16" monitor, which worked for about 5 days
(long enough to get me fully interested) then died.  I currently have a pair
of good DEC VR290-DA monitors that came with a VAXStation, one of which I
could use for this instead, except that the PMAGB-BA in the machine isn't
compatible.  I've done a little looking, without success, for something to
make this work.

So - the question:  Is there a way (a card, a modification to the PMAGB) to
make one of these VR290's work with the DS5000/240, or am I just basically
SOL?

P.S. - to Megan: the Keyboard/Mouse cable worked fine - Thanks!
