I ran across some of these hacks when searching for info but ISTR they were
for connecting a 3 BNC connector to VGA. My NEC Multi 4Ds is lovely that way in

connectors.

I'm sure it was one of these that I had hooked up to a PC at one point -
I also had a 16" workstation monitor which was sync-on-green and for
which I built an external module to combine the sync outputs from the
PC. There used to be quite a few websites out there explaining how to do
all this - I believe there may even be a Linux HOWTO document on the
subject somewhere (I don't think I have any documentation on the subject
these days though).
I assume if you're using a PC running some form of
windows you can
rework the graphics drivers somehow to drive the monitor properly?? It
was easy under Linux, and these sorts of monitors were best for building
X terminals based around old PC hardware running Linux (not something
I've done for a while though...)
Well if turns out that the ATI card works with it ,I might try making a Linux
box with my 8580. Some of the people on the PS2 newsgroup have done a Linux
install on MCA and I know at least one site dedicated to it.
