I need to know the video specs for the Rainbow in order to check the
compatibility of a non-DEC color monitor I was considering buying.  I don't
have the technical manuals, and I can't easily locate a set.  Specifically,
what are the requirements for a) vertical sync frequency, b) horizontal sync
frequencs and c) bandwidth?

I'm still looking for a VR241 (DEC color monitor) as an alternative.  Perhaps
someone would like to trade - I have an 8087 board available.  A useful 
point about the 8087 board - it can be used instead of the memory adapter to 
connect a memory expansion board to a 100A.  Plus, you get an 8087!

Contact me at the addresses/number below, or at (203) 322-7222 (evenings).
