I am pretty sure RML never made or badged a monitor for the 380Z. The 
We had 380Z's at school (heck, that's over 20 years ago!), they had those 
little 9" Hitachi monitors that come in a roughly cubical metal case on 
them. 

While I was at school, we bought one RGB output module for the RGB board 
(you know, the bracket on the back with 4 BNCs). It didn't come with a 
monitor, and AFAIK none was speficially recomended. I do remember 
dismantling the school's Barco colour monitor, and armed with a circuit 
diagram, adding  RGB inputs (Back then, schools were not so dumbed down 
that the kids weren't allowed to do anything even moderately dangerous, 
thankfully!)
