   Don't know for sure about your monitor, but I have used an old Zenith green   
   screen monitor on my C128 before.  My Zenith monitor has a single RCA type   
   jack for input.   
      
   For 80 column use, you need one RCA plug and a DB-9 connector.  Pin 7 on the   
   C128 is monochrome output and goes to the center contact on the RCA plug.   
   Pins 1 and 2 are ground and go to the outer shell of the RCA plug.   
      
   For 40 column use, you need an RCA plug and an 8 pin DIN plug.  Pin 2 is   
   ground and should go to the shell of the RCA plug.  Pin 1 is Luminance/SYNC   
   output, and pin 4 is Composite signal output.  Use whichever gives the best   
   results with your monitor to the center pin of the RCA plug.
