Yes, Commodore monitors have RCA jacks.  This lets you put the signal in 
directly rather than over the antenna screws of a TV, which pick up the 
broadcast signal, and is supposed to give a slightly better picture.  I 
forget how we did it with the green or amber monitors.


I was just given three AGP video cards with heat sinks and/or fans, and 
32-128MB memory, which I will test for playing DVDs.
