I'm trying to determine whether the video output of the VS3100 and
VS3520/3540 workstations will drive an existing Ikegami monitor.
(actually, the Ikegami is the one marketed by Ramtek).

I've been getting a fair-to-middling non-response from DEC, usually
on the order of, "you have to use OUR monitor," which I translate
to mean, "you have to BUY our monitor."

The Ramtek comes with a manual which says it is RS-343 compatible,
something like 25-38kHz scan frequency.  It was previously driven by
a 1280x1024 display.

Anyone out there familiar with the video out of DEC workstations?  Can
you offer advice and help?  Email please.

PS: My gut feeling, without actually trying it out, is that the VS3520
will work and the VS3100 might work.
