Re: Connecting an HP41CX to a PC monitor Message #2 Posted by Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) on 27 July 2002, 10:41 a.m., in response to message #1 by Theo Kastrissios
If you mean a DATA monitor, you need any terminal (communications) software on the PC, to look at serial port data.
If you are thinking about a VIDEO (CRT) Monitor, please see that the monitors have NO serial ports (the VGA connector is a 15 pin connector the size of a DB-9 format, which may look similar to a serial port).
Current monitors use frequencies not ever dream of in HP41 times, I think you should try to obtain a HP IL video adapter, connected to a standard, NTSC monitor (those with a RCA composite video input).
Please see the documentation coming with such HP IL video adapters, to ensure you are using the proper monitor and cable!
