A monitor from a PC type creature which I believe is called
a DECwriter is no longer functioning.  I would like to
replace it with a typical TTL monitor, however the original
monitor connects to the CPU via a DB15 (or maybe 13) as
opposed to the typical DB9 on a PC TTL display... It turns
out that this is because the keyboard lines are also in this
cable and the keyboard plugs into the monitor.  I think it
would be best to simply make a cable that would connect
a normal DB9 monitor and the keyboard to the CPU. 
If anyone knows the pins that are in this display/kbrd
combo connector and would like to save me trouble of having
to buzz it out by __E-MAILING__ me the pinout I would be a most
happy camper, and will gladly send you a digital cookie.  :)

thnx,
