questions on Compaq Presario 1725S monitor features

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq (More info?)

The mic copnnection requires a separate cable with 1/8" miniplugs at each
end. It plugs into a jack on the back of the monitor and the other end to
the mic input on your PC. The volume control is digital and works only with
certain compaq PCs/speakers.
