  9. Tandy Graphics Adapter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_Graphics_Adapter

    TGA graphics are built into the motherboards of Tandy computers. The PCjr uses a custom monitor with a unique 18-pin plug, [15] but an adapter (with the same DE-9 connector and pinout as IBM's CGA/EGA) can connect it to the IBM Color Display or similar 4-bit digital RGBI monitor. [16] The Tandy 1000 provides the DE-9 connector directly. [17]
