Thank you!  Hm.  I have two, actually, but only one has LEDs, if
that's what you're thinking...  And I definitely don't have a 13W3
monitor I can use; while I have actually got a monitor using 13W3
connectors it is for a NeXT and doesn't work on SPARCs, if my
understanding is correct.

I did pick the LX up from a heap of surplus computers and it's
possible it just simply doesn't work at all, of course.
