Adam,
IBM used the same cable on the RS6000 and these pop up on e-bay from time to time.
You do need a monitor that will support sync-on-green

You need a video cable with a 3W3 connector on one end. Original was likely
a DEC BC29G-10.
That, plus 5BNC-to-VGA cables, and 3 F/F BNC barrels, will work with a
multisync monitor that handles sync-on-green.
I just went through this with several DECstations, where the Turbochannel
graphics options have the same 3W3 connector.

I assume it would be way too much to hope that HD BNC would fit it? Does
anyone have a pointer to the actual physical dimensions of the itty-bitty BNC-
ish connector in the video port of the VAXStation4000vlc? If I can get red,
green, and blue out (assuming since there are only 3 connectors it's
sync-on-green) I can put together a sync splitter and turn it into VGA. I have
at least one decent multisync VGA monitor still, although none with the RGB
BNC inputs.
