Yeah, I use a 13W3 adapter and a VGA Samsung SyncMaster LCD on my bench.
The adapter is generic and happens to work on both Sun and SGI machines (as
mentioned, this is not guaranteed).
Thanks,

Jonathan may be on to something here. I only deal with Sun stuff and am

Bill,
Are you sure the SGI monitor will work with the Sun graphics adapter? Just
because the plug fits doesn't mean the monitors are compatible, when it
