AT>A question re: hardware.  I have a rainbow 100 with a color
AT>VR241 terminal.  The terminal-CPU cable has three small single-
AT>strand coax wires connecting to the VR241 with BNC connectors.
...
AT>any idea where I can find connectors for the coax wires and do
AT>a do-it-myself crimp/solder/splice of the three (RGB) wires?

   Al, about 2 years ago Jim O'Brien (OBRIEN@VENUS.YCC.YALE.EDU)
described to the INFO-DEC-MICRO/comp.sys.dec.micro community how he had
connected a NEC Multisync II to a Rainbow. His experiences were
summarized in the Sept '88 issue of _Rainbow News_.

   According to his article, you can order a colour monitor cable from
DEC (part # BCC17-06, cost ~60, call 1-800-DIGITAL). Jim also describes
how to make your own cable using BNC connectors purchased from a local
Radio Shack for a few $$ each. If you need any info about "doing it
yourself" but don't have Jim's article, let me know and I'll see if I
can be of more assistance.
