Joe,
	From "The Professional 300 Series Technical Manual", I have
(p. 8-5):
	J1 Pin-outs for the monochrome monitor:

1-3	not used
4	Ground ( video signal ground potential )
5,6	Ground ( operational voltage ground potential )
7,8	+12 Vdc ( operational voltage input )
9-11	not used
12	M Video ( composite video )
13	Ground ( tied to 5 and 6 )
14	Data Receive ( serial data line from the keyborad output to the
		system box, via J3 )
15	Data Send ( serial data line from the system box output to the
		keyboard, via J3 )

	J3 pin-outs, for the keyboard:

1	Data Send ( via J1, pin 15 )
2	+12 Vdc	( output of operational voltage to the keyboard ( from J1,
		pins 7 and 8 )
3	Ground ( from J1, pins 5,6,13 )
4	Data Receive ( via J1, pin 14 )


	I could not find equivalent information about a VR241 ( color )
monitor. However, there must be some relation, as the Extended Bitmap
Option board can drive either, without hardware changes. You might
be able to get more out of the manual if you can obtain one:
	The ordering or part number is:

	EK-PC350-TM-001


	Good Luck!
