    	I'm also interested.  I have the Sony TV/Monitor that is equivalent
    to this (1302 or 1311?  I can't remember the number...) and would *love* to
    use this on my 386SX system.

    	Also, where's a good place to get the cable from?

    	Thanx in advance.


The KV-1311 can be used on either an Amiga or a PC. On the PC it  does
CGA, which was the standard when it was made. Use a  standard  PC  CGA
cable  and  card.  Note  that the connector is the `other' on from the
Amiga,  however.  It's  the  small  boxy DIN type rather than the flat
strip type. (Hey, I'm just a software dude.)

I assume there are other things that this monitor can be hooked up to,
as it's the most multi-purpose Trinitron I've seen.

If you have a 1302 I believe this information doesn't apply.
