as I had a couple of people wanting to know about the possible recycling of
HP98785A Monitors (the ones installed with the 340 HP Lysis II Station),
here is what I found out so far:
Although I haven't tried either of these possibilities, several people in
different news groups suggested that either of both solutions should work.
There are two possibilities:
1. For PCs: Buy a videocard that supports the monitor:

http://www.mirage-mmc.com/48-55.htm?title=98785A
http://www.avicom.net/softint.html
http://www.photonweb.com/564-64/
If you have one of those videocards already, maybe a simple HD15 -> 3 BNC
cable is enough.
2. For MacIntoshes: Get a MacSync cable from Griffin Technologies

Here is some of the specs that I got from one of the webpages (no guarantee
for validity) concerning this monitor (although I'd love to have the
official documentation on this monitor - if anybody has it, send me a copy
please !)

Hope that get's you in the right direction. I'll let you know as soon as I
managed to get this MacSync cable from Griffin Technologies.
Ok, have a nice weekend.
