I have a DEC Rainbow system with a Color Monitor. This monitor happens
to be DEC's VT241 Color monitor. It has as its normal inputs RGB.

I would like to use this as the Color Monitor for an IBM AT running one
of the IBM graphics cards (CGA, PGA, EGA).We happen to have a shortage
of the IBM monitors and a bunch of dying Rainbows which have good color
tubes on them.

Does anyone know if this is practical? And if so, what is needed to
make the two compatible?
