@g4ugm - Thanks for the info. It's weird seeing that monitor again. It looks just like the one I had. Due space and "wife-acceptance-factor" concerns, I'd rather not go the CRT route. @Eudimorphodon - I've actually just been looking at those. I just bought these...

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm going to try and resurrect my Targa video system. I just acquired 3 complete pc's (286, 386, 486) and have everything except the output monitor. I owned the complete original system, and have the JVC vidcam, Targa 24 card, Summagraphics SummaSketch...

I just happened on your post. If interested, I believe I made copies of the TGA-TIPS software needed to run the older Truevision boards, if you need it. I'm going to look for it this weekend. I have an older Targa board that I'm going to put on Ebay shortly, with the original video camera...
