If you cut off my head, what would I say? Me and my head, or me and my body?
I have the
following: SPARCstation 2 with GX card (1M mappable, rev
7), SGI GDM-20E21 monitor (Trinitron, OEM from Sony) and 13w3 cable.
Obviously they don't work together - the pinouts are said to be
slightly different in SGI and Sun. Now, is there any easy way - cut
some wires, connect the others - to make this work?
Connect the C-Sync signal from
the Sun via an 330 Ohm resistor to the
green signal. This will generate Sync-On-Green. If you are familar with
a soldering iron you can solder the resistor on the bottom side of the
GX PCB directely at the connector. Maybe you have to break the 10 extra
pins in the 13W3 cabe, because the SGI monitor may ground the pin that
caries the C-Sync signal. The pinout for the coaxial RGB-Pins is the
same on Sun, SGI und IBM.
