I just bought an ACIS Experimental Dispay, serial number 137.

I plan on using it on my PC (I know that it is not a multi-sync, and that
it will not work in normal resolutions, i.e. 640x480. ).  I am
confident that I can convert the video to a usable state.  I need
to know a few things though.

1)  The vertical scanning frequency.

2)  The horizontal scanning frequency.

3)  Is this a digital or analog monitor?  I seem to remember that our RTs
had 16 gray scales, but don't remember.  I do know that it used the standard
RT Advanced Monochrome Graphics adapter card (or whatever it was
called... :-).

4)  The input connector wiring diagram (I can figure this out, but I'll
waste time doing it.)

5)  Anything else you feel would be useful about converting it.

Please, no horror stories about person XXX tried this and it didn't work.
Stories of "I almost got it to work" are more than welcome, however.

Please respond via email, since I don't read this bboard (I don't
have an RT!)

Thanks in advance,
