[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] New monitor on old Compaq transportable

yee@edison.seas.ucla.edu (John Yee/;093090;eegrad) (08/02/90)

My friend is getting eye strain from the small screen on his old Compaq
transportable.  Is there any way to hook up a regular (monochrome) monitor
to it?  (I would just open her up, but he is far away and loathe to do so.)

Thanks in advance for any info on this.

I had the original model.  It has a composite video connector.  You do not have
to open it.  Just plug a composite color or a COMPOSITE mono monitor in.
