Both of these, from what I've looked at with a scope, appear to be rs232 based, at about 9600 baud when I measure a bit time. The latest purchase is an LCD, and has a home on a legacy computer in the basement. The other is a 20 yo crt, with a db9 output that if I checked the baud rate, its been forgotten because it was a decade ago. I should look at fleabay & see if they have any more, preferably in a 22" tv screen format like I am using on the new mill. Samsung tv, with a failed tuner, still a good monitor though. > On Thu, Aug 20, 2015 at 9:51 AM, Gene Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thursday 20 August 2015 10:25:06 Dave Cole wrote: > > > I'm surprised that they are surprised! :-) > > > > > > Dave > > > > It is a semi-std advertising gimick I have seen before. > > > > I do think the gfx interface is nice.
