bzzzzzt.  wrong answer.  thanks for playing though, you were almost today's
winner.

i don't think you've ever seen a vt240 linc.  they are monitor-less pizzabox
machines and use the same video connector as the 3100/Rainbow/etc to get a
tube hooked up to them.

i forget though, does it use the monitor cable with the built-in keyboard and
mouse connector?  of the db15-3bnc only and the keyboard connector is on the
machine?
