Yeah, I had the thing sitting in my livingroom for about a week (thanks to
a government auction) before I had any time to work with it.  I was a bit
surprised to see the BNC connectors on it, and even more surprised (or
rather excited) to learn that it supported sync-on-green.  About twenty
seconds later it was hooked up to a VAXstation :-)
