It's odd that no one has heard of this, given the number of collectors on the newsgroup.

I had one. I didn't speak up because it was long ago and I can't offer much information.

Put it in my Apple II+ to drive a RGB Sakata monitor, probably 1983-84. I remember hooking up the clips to various chip leads on the MB.

Sold the II+ to fund my IIGS a few years later.

Thanks for the info, Rich. If you remember anything else (or find docs or software squirreled away), please yell?

Do you remember if that Sakata monitor was IBM CGA standard, or something proprietary?

Oh Dam*! I'm going to rot in HE** for keeping such old stuff, but I went and looked and came up with the following:

It was a Telemax Colormaster VCB-8+ which I purchased for $139 in April 1985, plus some peripherals for a Sakata SC200.

I found a copy of a letter where I returned it in May because it didn't perform as described... some paragraphs about poke 50944,4 and deferred mode and immediate mode ?????

Monitor was a Sakata SC200 (Color RGB / IBM HR) 13" monitor.

Oh goodness what a treasure trove of old receipts and memories!
