Hi,
   A friend of mine uses a PCjr at home for wordprocessing, and recently
his monitor died leaving him without any display.
   My questions are:
1> What type of monitor does he need?  I know that the JR used an advanced
   version of CGA (advanced being a relative term), but will a plain vanilla
   CGA monitor work?  I have not seen this PCjr (or any other) in a long time
   so I dont even know what type of connector it has,  though I think it has a
   composite video out, but dont remember if this is how they used to connect
   the monitor.
2> If it is not a plain vanilla cga (TTL RGB) what type of monitor can he
   use?  Color is not essential, but is preferred.
