I was cruising RGVAC and I came across this tidbit that I was unaware of.

Yes, they are all the same and only come in 2 sizes; 19" and 15". If
the size is the same you can mix and match but be aware that at least
some Omega Races used the Asteroids-style monitor with slightly
different connectors (will still work buy you've gotta make a
converter).

This response was written by Gregg Woodcock FYI.

Could he or anybody else please elaborate? I just finished redoing the
entire
monitor <-> CPU harness on my OR CT based on the manual and the markings
on the monitor PCB. I haven't powered up the OR yet.

The monitor tested OK in a Battlezone but I want to make sure I don't
trash anything. The monitor uses the Battlezone type 12 pin mate & lock
connector.

Thanks in advance
