Probably not. The HP most likely has 3 BNC sockets. The sync signals are carried on the green vidoe signal (which is much the smae as a a monochrome composite signal), whereas VGA uses spearate syncs. Most adatper cables therefore have 5 BNCs (R,G,B, Hsync and Vsync). A sync separateor is not a complex project. The LM1881 is the 'classic' IC for this, there are more recent versiosn of it too. You connected the input to the green vidoe signal (which also goes to the monitor green input) and get the sync signals out of said IC which oyu also feed ot the monitor. This asusmes the LCD monitor can handle the scan rates used by the HP unit. Which is by no means certain. Some LCD displays will accpet just about anything. Others will only accept a very few 'standard' rates I am misisng something here. The fact that VGA monitors are no longer going to be made does not mean all the ones that exist will suddenly stop working. For that matter, it doesn't mean that all the origianl workstation monbitors will stop working. So I intend to keep on using those. I suspect somebody is going to have to figure out hwo to make flyback transformers at home (It can't be impossible, as I mentioned before, the model IC engine crowd make their own igniton coils and vacuum impregnate them). -tony
