Antique Monitor
Hello - I have an old monitor with a "D"connector (plug) but it's 9-pin. For my computer I need the usual 15-pin. Do you know how I can adapt it for use?
The monitor is a Mitsubishi XC-1404CB. Thanx for any tips! Bob (in UK)

How old is the monitor? If it's an old CGA, it won't work with just an adapter, you'll need a CGA card and have to deal with almost no colors...

You know, on the plus side, having a fuctional monitor around for 16 years is certainly quite a feat of accounting management! Considering that several generations of monitor technologies have come and gone in that time, and the fact that the average monitor lasts at most 5 years in the usual "upgrade cycle", I don't think it would be too compulsive of you to buy a new monitor now
 .In fact, I think you should point this out to your employer and lobby for a promotion and/or pay raise! Anyone who can save money that aggressively should be commended!  ------------------ Windows 95: A 32-bit extension of a 16-bit overlay for an 8-bit OS that was originally designed for a 4-bit processor by a 2-bit company that can't produce 1 bit of good software!
