Okay, so I've been sitting here trolling the newsgroup ever since my last
post. I've read almost every post that drops into my mail-box - a lot of
questions I can't answer.
Anyway, I'd asked about an IBM PowerStation 530, and got a lot of responces,
and eventually got a cable (Thanks Peter, your check's going in the mail on
Monday) to make the 3 micro-BNC in DB housing output into a 3 BNC RGB
hookup. I went to the local place to look at crap, and found only one
monitor that has the three BNC hookups - it's an HDS ViewStation, with no
other real info on it... Will this work with the system? Anyone heard of
this thing before. Also, it's $50 - is that really a reasonable price or
should I try to talk him down?
If it helps, the diagrams next to the RGB hookups on the back of the monitor
showed a vertical arrow in next to the R and a horizontal one next to the B,
and nothing next to the green. This would lead me to believe that it syncs
vertical on Red and horizontal on Blue, which obviously won't work, but I
just want to make sure.
Thanks again for any and all help. If this monitor won't work, I'm gonna go
look again and see what sort of 5 BNC models I can find... I was told some
will work (Thanks Bennett).

My experience has been that every 5-bnc multisync I've found has worked
with sync-on-green, however my experience is limited to Viewsonic and NEC
monitors in this regard. I would agree with your guess that the monitor you
looked at mixed sync on the read and blue inputs.
Do not be scared by the prospect of building a sync separator circuit. The
chip from National is easy to use and can easily be hand wired. You can
power it from a 9v battery and when the screen goes away change the battery
or use a "wall wart" type system with an on board regulator.

It's from a small network computer - here's the monitors section of the
