Local sale of a Northgate P4 computer with 15" CRT monitor. Have found little info on any Northgate P4 and the big question is the monitor: a 5B5 ?
Found a few references to a Viewsonic but nothing conclusive.
Yeah the monitor is only 1024x768, 0.28 pitch, 30-55Khz from the box. Still waiting for an email of more specs...
Sellers pictures of the boxes only... I know not much to go on but last time I drove hours for something similar got this: Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today but the seller told me exact what it was
This time the seller is being a bit reluctant to include good info but my hopes are up it could be worth it...

Lan-Plus & Northgate seem to be one and the same
