The Sun Composite-Sync signal and the SGI
Composite-Sync signal
aren't on the same pin, and most CS-capable monitors do it the Sun
way.
Pulling pin 10 disables CS from the SGI adapter and forces
everything
to SOG.
I can verify this on Indy, Octane, Indigo2 Extreme and Impact, and
IIRC, Indigo R3k models.
Do you know if and how the Apple 13W3-15 cable (Apple 590-0615-A)
differs from the "SGI/Sub" version? They look the same
externally, but Apple is rather (in)famous for altering pinouts.
