Second attempt - First never appeared

A friend has a Bondwell 286 portable computer (made in 1991 according to
the FCC ID).  The display gave up the ghost.  He has all of his formulas
and solutions to his laboratory experiments on the hard drive.  I am
assuming that the drive is either a MFM or RLL type.  The computer has a
video output connector on the rear, but it is identified as an RGB
output.  The system will turn on but he cannot "see" anything.  If a
monitor could be connected to it, he could then copy all of his data to
floppies and put it on his home computer until he gets a new laptop.

But since it is a RGB output, I don't think it can drive the more common
standard monitor.

I thought of taking the drive out, but before I crack the case, I want
to know if that is a good approach or a last ditch effort.

Looks like Bondwell is not on the web (was a Hong Kong company)

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
