Hi David,


I checked several of my q133 boards and I did not see a 'fix' cable on any
of them. I also checked the manuals (IIx and III) for any clues but no
mention of it.

I also checked the manuals for wiring schematics and color codings for
your light pen, but the color coding is not part of the manual (how
surprising from Fairlight).

The light pen looks similar to one of my pens. I too have several IIx
monitors of varying revision and not all pens will fit all monitor
casings.
I too will likely need a replacement connector for a light pen as it was
demolished by the person selling the unit to me. He apparently tried to
disconnect it, not knowing the trick. I'd appreciate feedback on what type
you find and use.

Your unit looks great cosmetically !

Good luck !

Harald
