he's running a 3/140, and the 3/140 has an onboard *color* framebuffer whose

Quite a few Sun framebuffers have ECL outputs, but they're all very old
ones (older than the 3/140) and all monochrome. It was not at all uncommon
to drive those monitors through fifteen or twenty feet of cable; I still have
some of those long cables somewhere.

making my cable from the Sun to the Extron, I had to keep it
very short ...6 inch...because the ECL had a problem with long cables. The
THat suprises me. An ECL line driver (and I assume that's waht Sun used)
should eb able to drive a fairly long cable provided it is of a suitable
type and correctly terminated.
What cable were you sueing, and how did you terminate it?
