wrote in message news:20030712.223854.02@hotch.demon.co.uk... My old but still working monitor is, IIRC, having looked around the back not two hours ago, an AKF85. It's got a switch down the bottom left, marked D-SUB and BNC. Sometimes, the keyboard wedges itself down there, inadvertently nudging the switch, turning the display black, and making me think something horrible's happened! Anyhow, I gather that you can attach to computers to the monitor and switch between the two. Which is handy. Will a modern PC connect to the "BNC" input? I take it this means the 3-4 coaxial type sockets round the back. I had a look in PC World (OK, so I was passing) and didn't see a monitor lead that looked a likely candidate. Can I source one of these easily somewhere? What would it be called?

Some monitors (mine included) has 5 BNC inputs (R,G,B,H Sync,V Sync) which
will work with a PeeCee. I have seen leads for as much as 35 quid, but you
might be able to pick one up a bit cheaper.

Yikes! Perhaps more than I was hoping to pay. I'll have to scour
scan.co.uk etc

Got my lead from "He who has everything in stock" :-)

Can't remember the price but it wasn't "silly" and i got the "service"
