The difference is in the 10 small pins for sync and monitor ID. All SGIs with 13W3 connector that I had in my hands supply sync on green. So if your monitor supports sync on green just connect the three RGB BNC connectors and you are done. You can't do this with Suns. Usually they don't supply sync on green. You need the extra pin with the csync signal. So you must use a 13W3 to 4 BNC cable with Sun pinout. But you can solder a 470R resistor from the csync to the G pin and make your own sync on green. I've done this on one or two TGX SBus framebuffers. -- tsch??, Jochen Homepage: http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/
