Got my SGI Crimson up and running on serial console,

old SGI monitor sitting around, but I guess I gave away all my cables.
Anyone have such a cable in their junk bins? Only ones on ebay now
are from the dealer-gougers.
I use mine with an "ordinary" (i.e. Non-SGI branded) 21" CRT with a
5xBNC-VGA cable. One of the sync leads (H-sync I think) is redundant, of
course.
Suitable items found just now on ebay.co.uk:
270198917710 - 5xBNC-VGA Cable @ ?4.99
280189417939 - 21" Dell CRT Monitor @ ?19.99
Not a bad setup for ?25! Just by way of an example of course - I realise
you're not in Grimsby, UK ;-)
Would the Sun 13W3-BNC leads not work? I know there's a subtle difference
between Sun and SGI monitor cables, can't quite remember what it is. They
seem cheap and plentiful enough:
