All current RISC OS machines and older Risc PCs, come fitted with standard 15 pin ‘D-type’ VGA connectors for video out, so should work on pretty much all standard monitors, both CRT and LCD flat panel types. If you have an older legacy machine, additional information and wiring diagrams for connecting VGA monitors is available online at www.riscos.org/legacy/monitors.html N.B. The Risc PC can sometimes get confused when set to ‘auto’ monitortype, resulting in a blank screen and no display on the monitor. If this happens, try re-configuring the CMOS ram settings to the following and then reseting the machine.
