I've managed to get my hands on an old monitor that has a connection
I've never seen before. The connection has only two rows of pins, one
row with four pins and one with five pins.

Does anyone know what kind of video card I need to plug this thing into?

Thanks

Chuck

Is it a no-name monitor? Could it be a monochrome monitor?
Those were TTL (digital).

Forgot something! hehe

Up until mid - late '93 these monitors were so common in my area (at that
time NW US) that I was selling a lot of 15/9 pin adapters.

Ron may be closer to the mark with the Monochrome suggestion, but as stated
above it could be color.

Hehehehehe.

You have an OLD monitor indeed. I haven't seen one of those in forever. IF
it can do VGA it is the old analog connector. An EGA card would work tho.
