Its not unusual for SUN to use an odd sync pattern, not compatible with the
"standards" that the PC-market has adopted. With a little fiddling, e.g.
inversion of one or the other of the two sync signals, it may work fine.

How much do you want for the cable. I've got an
IBM P70 monitor
that should work with it and it probably would let me put that on my
Sun Workstation.

WARNING: The cable's do not seem to allow you to put a Multisync monitor on
a Sun Workstation. At least when I tried I couldn't find a combo that
would work. IIRC, their pinout is different.
Interesting...
I'll have to ohm out a couple of 13W3 cables and see what's different.
