Ah, this discussion pops up from time to time among SGI fans. I can't
remember the definitive answer though.
A SUN adapter will work on machines later than the Indigo2, but you
monitor needs to handle sync on green.
An SGI adapter might be needed on an Indigo an earlier, but I'm not sure
about it. Perhaps its the sync on green thing again.

hmmm, I used an adapter off ebay labeled for SUN to
VGA, used it on every
single machine up to the octane without an issue, but i couldn't get my dell
CRT to work with it, only my samsung syncmaster710n LCD. it must be more
tolerant of sync on green...
