Hello David,
There you go, Never say never.
The monitor's I usually used for checking were the 5 BNC input Sony MultiSyncs.
These monitors have worked with every type of system I had ever plugged up to
them except the Indy ( with the adapter I had ).
The types of systems it did work with were ...
PC's
DEC Alphas with 3W3
HP something or others with 3 BNC output
Suns of all types that I ever had the occasion to try with the 13W3 to HD15
adapter
Sounds like with your monitor having the 13W3 input, you might not have
needed to be using an adapter, but just used a 13W3 to 13W3 cable?
Best Regards

Hello John,
Get a 13W3 to HD15 adapter, then use a standard HD-15 to HD-15 cable.
The 13W3 that works with Sun equipment doesn't work with SGI Indy's.
I hear there is a different adapter for those.
FWIW, My personal experience say Sun != SGI 13W3 isn't always true.
The 21" dual input Sun monitor I've got on my desk has a standard 15 pin
VGA input, and a 13W3. That 13W3 input (so far) has plugged
successfully into every bit of Sun & SGI HW I've tried. (OT List:
SS10, SS5, Ultra1, Indy, and Octane)
Of course, YMMV, mebbe its a smart monitor :-)
