It's an IBM model 8503 PS/2 monochrome display. The connector on the back
is one of those little D connectors, with what appear to be about half the
pins missing (total of 8 pins in the connector.

What kind of video card(s) does it use?
What resolution can it do?

I'm hoping it's at least VGA. I need to use some software for which my
current Hercules/monochrome rig just ain't enough anymore.

Thanks.

What's with all this multimedia stuff? Most vendors can't get *one* done right.
