[rescue] SGIs and Sun monitors

[Larry Snyder]

There's lots of good info to be had at

http://www.monitorworld.com

for starters.  Look at the pinouts and you'll see what the differences
are.  Conceivably, an M-F 13W3 cable with the 10 pins cut out may
do what you want.  That would assume the three coax's are the same,
your monitor would handle the scan rates, and that it does SOG.
Do the homework first.
