Hi,
I have a DEC Rainbow 100B which has the colour graphics option fitted. When I received the machine late last year, it had a faulty VR201 with it which was unfortunately beyond repair. As a replacement I made up a cable to use the composite input on a TV instead. While this works, it isn't perfect as it is only monochrome and none of the many TVs I have tried it on display the full picture as part of the left hand side of the image is always cut off. I am now looking for a way to hook the machine up preferably to a VGA monitor or TV with VGA input to support colour (and hopefully get a full image) as I can't find any replacement original monitors and also lack the space to keep one around.
Does anyone have any experience in getting a Rainbow to output to a modern display in colour?
Thanks!
