[SunHELP] Sun Monitor

[Bob Minvielle]

A note on this:

Fred at Data Instruments has a converter
that works. (link on the sunhelp recommended
vendors page). You should have a monitor
that can do sun resolutions, though. Most
modern monitors will, anything in the Sony
class should work. At least getting this
and testing is still cheaper than the
shipping costs mentiond below. I bought one
from him and it works perfectly, unlike
the imitation one I got from ebay.

Note to original msg... Sun keyboards
and mice are dirt cheap. You can get a
setup for less than a good keyboard/mouse
combo for a PC at your local PC shop (IMHO,
those new PC KB/mice are expensive).
