 Hi, does anyone know how to hook a monochrome monitor (Sharp, if it
matters) to an IBM 286 machine?  It has a RCA jack in the back.  It's
pretty old, probably 1982.  I used to use it with an Apple IIe, so I
know it can do 80x24 chars, which is good enough for the 286.

 But damned if I can figure out how to hook it up to a PC.  I can't
find any sort of video card for it, they're all 9 or 15 pin
EGA/VGA type.

 I do have a Hercules monochrome card I'd like to use with it, so I'm
hoping for some sort of simple cable...
