This is part 2 of a multi-part series on the restoration of a Convergent Technologies NGEN computer. This is a fairly unique computer manufactured back in the 80s. It has a modular architecture, a 80186 CPU, and runs an operating system called CTOS. In this video I investigate the monitor connector to determine how to make a keyboard/monitor breakout board. I power the thing up and play with the bootloader. For more electronics videos, see smbaker.com
