I received a couple of replies that sent me searching.

Someone suggested that I contact a Sony rep and *insist* that he sell me
a CPD9000.  I was told that I would have to tell the rep the model
number or else he would deny that Sony made any such monitor. 

This is *exactly* what happened! I asked the rep about 9" colour
monitors in general, and he said that Sony does not make any.  Then in
the next sentence I asked about the CPD9000.  The reply was "Oh, a 9"
colour monitor! Hmmm."

The monitor will work with computer and videotex units with RGB outputs
and with CGA (not EGA or VGA) type IBM-PC display cards.

I would not suggest that one use this monitor for a normal computer
console. The text quality is (due to the cga card) quite poor. But
for a menu driven operator screen it is quite good. For image display,
the image is excellent. Extremely sharp.

Regards,
    Larry
