You may find this interesting: Ijust picked up a Laser branded monitor 
adaptor cable, whose (very sparse) documentation says it will work on
not only a Laser 128, but also a //c or //e... it is intended for use
with an IBM RGB monitor. Since the //e obviously has no 15-pin video
out and the signal from the Laser and //c are different then they have
apparently left out some crucial data from the instructions.
