OK, got that. What about the cabling, anyone got any spares lying around? :)
Also how do I hook up a mouse/keyboard to these things (I think the icon above the DB25
looking connector implied it carries video, keyboard [LK-style with RJ connector like on
the VT420 I hope] and mouse [no idea about DEC mice])?

I?ve got two VAXstation 4000s, and I think they
both have a graphics card in them - one with a weird connector with 3 circular sockets and
another with a DB25-looking thing and they seem to have a picture of a monitor on them.
So a couple of questions?
Anyone know where I can get an adapter cable for one or the other of those to a VGA
monitor? (basically, does anyone have a spare that they?d like to sell)?
Are they likely to work with an LCD monitor or do I need to get an older CRT one?
Basically the video output from all DEC stuff is analog video with sync on green. So just
find a video converter that can take analog RGB video input with sync on green, and then
output to VGA or whatever, and you're good.
