displays just fine.
YMMV, but perhaps this might work for an old IRIS 3130, or whatever
tasty gear you're not divulging the nature of JP... ;^)

Alas, no, the machines in question can only be relied upon to output
standard SGI and standard Sun video.
I've never used older SGIs than that [...] Doesn't help if you only
have 3 x BNC, of course; you'd at least have to construct a sync
separator, but that's potentially just a one-chip stripboard design.
