I would think it has to be broken. If the info is correct, Hitachi specified scanning
would start at 31 khz (vga) not 35 khz (mac). Mac and pc video is different in that one
uses negative going sync (and video?) pulsed, the other positive. Mac video is industry
standard it would seem, as so many of these fixed freqs readily work w/macs (found one
once that wouldn't, a Sony GDM-can't remember, 48khz. I chalked it up to sync
pulse width or something, but don't really know. Maybe it was a weirdo and expected
opposite polarities). IBM ps/2 may have been intentionally less compatible? Of course
there were 3rd party cards that presumably would plug right up to these monitors (and I
still have 2 IBM/Sony GDM-1932s or something, trinitron. I think they may have been
intended for AIX equipment, cad/cam for sure though).
