Came across a Radio Shack 26-1201 TRS-80 video display at an antique mall for $20 yesterday - allegedly it works, but I do not have a TRS-80 to try it out with. I have read you can connect a TRS-80 to a composite display by making a simple DIN-5 to composite adapter and only hooking up pins 4 & 5.

Would that work the other way around? My understanding is that at least one of the 5 pins is 5v, so I assume the monitor needs that for some reason.
