A while ago a bought an Olivetti M-240 with an Olivetti monitor. Using Google didn't give me much info except on one site.
According to this site it's an EGA so I was really excited since I was looking for an IBM 5154 for quite a while. This one was also EGA so I was happy anyway.
Model is CD 14A/4001

I had a few untested EGA cards (2 EGA Wonder and 1 IBM) so I hooked up the monitor and only got some artifacted lines on the top of the screen.
I tested them with my 5153 in CGA mode and they both seem to work. The other EGA Wonder in my Commodore PC30 has no DIP switches and doesn't output an image on the 5153.
The monitor works because I tested it with Kings Quest in EGA on the Olivetti.

Is it possible that it would only work with an Olivetti PC??!!!
