The computer didn't come with a monitor (I checked it out on one, however), and has a 13W3 connector on the back. Has anyone had experience writing this (or a related) machine to a PC monitor? Does the conversion work? Can anyone advise me on where to by the connectors? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The partitions are fine, and I can run in minimal command-line mode, but nothing else. I've tried the LED and other generic monitor configurations and I get garbage, if anything.
