I thought all Sun's used 13W3 -> 4 (or 5) BNC. At least all Sun 13W3 ->

cables or converters that I own are to 5 bnc (but as I recall one wasn't
necessary)
with the 5 being R,G,B and 2 sync (combined and H or V sync on the 5th)
IIRC.
Did any sun systems support sync on green (which would be required for
13W3 -> 3BNC) ?
The real 'fun' one is teh 386i and the combined video/keyboard/mouse cable.
I think I have 4 386i systems, but I think I only have 2 cables (and one
needs
repair).

What a pain... My original DEC 1702906-01 (3W3
-> 3 BNC) cable broke
and I needed a replacement. I found one on eBay so I bought two.
Instead, the seller sent me a 13W3 to 3 BNC!!! (Where the hell does
that thing come from???)
13W3 -> 3 BNC is common in the world of older Sun workstations, in
the Sun3 and early Sun4 lines.
