Depending on the year model, the XBR has a special adapter that will allow
directly connecting the output of the Amiga to the Monitor.  In that mode,
the monitor is now an RGB monitor.  Look for a strange 34 pin connector; if
you have it, obtain the pin-outs and wire up a connector.

In later year models, this connector was removed from production monitors due
to lack of interest.
