 I'm looking for an S-Bus CG6 of the TGX or TGX+ versions or a Sparc
 Station 5 specific S24 24 bit video card. The TGX cards are supposed
 to be able to push a resolution of 1024x768x60 that should be able to
 be used by generic SVGA monitors.
 There is a CG6 TGX on eBay with a $20 Buy-It-Now price (and free shipping).

I have a collection of SPARCstation lunchbox systems (IPC, IPX, Classic, 
LX) and an Axil 320 (a SS20 clone), all connected to 5-year-old LCDs.

Not all generic SVGA monitors like to connect to Sun frame buffers. I 
have a ViewSonic that doesn't work with them, but have had no problems 
with various Samsungs.
