A 13w3 adapter should not fry the LCD.  Getting the sync lines wrong
would just not work properly, it wouldn't kill the LCD.  

I would not try a B&W framebuffer though unless it had 13w3 output (I
seem to recall that 3/80s had that, but I'm not positive, and they
weren't sbus anyway).

I meant a 8bit color framebuffer set to run in only B&W for ease of
finding the pieces.
