How to get video out of a TRS-80 2000 PC

[WisconsinComputerClub]

Hello all! The Wisconsin Computer Club and I are hosting a "Tandy" themed event on November 25th, and I've finally pulled the TRS-80 2000 out of deep storage for the lineup. Unfortunately, I do not have a monitor for it, which rather dampens any fun we could have with it. I have a huge array of modern and retro monitors here at my disposal, but nothing that fits the round monitor plug on the back.

I guess more to the point, is there a pin out of that plug available somewhere? If there is one, I'm fairly confident I could chop something together to feed to any number of composite monitors. I've found schematics for some things, but not the pin outs I'm looking for.

Alternatively, I do see that there are a few "high res" graphics cards for this system on eBay. Would that work with a CGA monitor, or was it a bespoke graphics type that'll only work on the Tandy CM-1?

Many thanks for any ideas or insights!

The Tandy 2000 has 640x400 resolution at 26.4 kHz, either monochrome with the onboard DIN connector or in 8 colors out of a palette of 16 colors with the optional color video card
It will not work with most generic monitors.

Many thanks for the reply! That is an odd one, looks like we'll have to go looking for a monitor then. Hopefully there's still one out there somewhere.
