Newer versions of the Personal Iris (those shipped since the middle of 1989) have a nine pin connector in addition to the standard RGB BNC jacks. This nine pin connector is for the 14 inch monitor option, which is 1024 x 768. So if you have a machine with one of these connectors, you are in luck. Jim Bennett (bennett@esd.sgi.com)
