There are some cables that allow you to be able to use a BNC and convert it to a VGA style connect (like some CCTV use), but why would you want to. That's more trouble then what is it's worth for what you are using it for.

Get a real monitor.

Well this I know. You are working with some very archaic stuff there. Tell me why would one want to go through the trouble of using a VAX machine like that. Are you trying to format some old MFM drives for some reason.

Even if you do have that up, do you have an OS for it. Don't you have to have a special license to use that?

It's that kind of stuff that made me very sick trying to use my SGI machine. All the proprietary software, licenses, keys.

Thank goodness for Open Source and the internet. Still makes me shudder when I remember starting at an amber and black Zenith workstation screen when I was a child. Yeah working on GWBASIC programs too...
